It is the 21st of the month and I just started my first challenge...learning Vietnamese. The fact that I am just now starting my "challenge of the month" is the exact reason I started this blog. I felt like if I got you involved (if there are actual people reading), I would be more accountable.
I am happy to say that a teeny, tiny bit of Vietnamese stuck with me! The few words that I knew really helped during Lesson 1 but I obviously still need a lot of practice. I am learning Vietnamese through Rosetta Stone and even though it seems overwhelming, I think I am going to enjoy it. From what it looks like, each lesson is broken into four different sections that allow you to practice the same phrases in new ways. I went though part 1 and did well enough. However, as I was going through part 2, I was racking up points...honestly, I had 90 correct and 0 wrong! I knew I had a perfect score waiting for me at the end and I postponed on taking a picture in order to flaunt it front of all of you. I mean, wouldn't you be impressed if on day 1, I got a perfect score? I guess God was not okay with my cockiness because my laptop shut itself down on question 91. You are probably thinking, "Isn't that so convenient, Erica? A perfect score that you cannot prove?" I say, "take it or leave it". I guess I learned my lesson for next time!
