I just attended a Chinese language class that one of my teachers in Beijing was having over the net. It's at www.linese.com
There was a guy from India having his lesson, and I just sat in and watched the lesson in progress. The guy was really diligent in his lessons, not afraid to ask questions or anything. Although the accent is not really Chinese, he can already speak basic Chinese. And it's already not bad for a beginner.
Seeing him making effort to actually study the Chinese language makes me feel sad for the Filipino-Chinese here. Fil-chi's tend to take their Mandarin classes for granted. They would rather stay in one grade level for years because they fear that the lessons in the next level would be real hard. What's hard about studying your own culture? You can already adopt American culture with watching shows from the US and such, how came you can't adopt your own? How weird can life get?
