Wow, Tyler, 13 year old! I never know I could have so young a reader!
You’re only 3 years older than my daughter :-)
I asked her to learn on this lesson series too. She likes it, but she can only stand for three lessons in a row. :-( She’s learning French too.
Once you’ve established a foundation on Chinese, learning Japanese and Korean will become easier too.
