Matt got a Rosetta Stone for Christmas. He's been forcing me to learn ever since... the only motivation I see in my learning Chinese now is so that we can speak code together.
Take for instance the other day when I was very angry with him (we both have pretty violent tempers). I needed to express my frustration in a way that was not English, like they do in the movies.
'Hong se da yu' I hissed at him, quite darkly.
He was not offended. Probably because I only know enough Chinese to effectively label him a 'red fish'. But just you wait Henry Higgins, my next lesson is 'shopping', and if they teach you how to shop China style, I should be learning all sorts of insults.

Oh man, if you people start talking secret language in front of me... I'll beat you. I hate it when people do that! :)
BUT RAD that you are learning! So jealous!
