Life In 19x19

Thanks for the opinion on Rosetta Stone Billy . Any opinions at this point are _very_ welcomed .

An interesting link I came across tonight that I thought I would share back on this thread... A lady by the name of Shao Lan started "Chineasy" which aims to make it easier for Westerners to understand ...

Wow!!!! Thanks everybody. Lots of stuff to digest here . Considering I've never learned a second spoken language ever, it seems fairly daunting to know where to begin.
