FOREIGN LANGUAGE

While pursuing my graduate degree I took four semesters of Mandarin Chinese. The courses taught both spoken and written Chinese using the complicated characters. While I was with Downtown Digital I was taking private classes but stopped in the spring of 97. One of my life goals is to one day speak and write Mandarin fluently.
