Oh, man, you sound like me learning Dutch. SO MUCH.

I hope you are keeping a language diary, at least here, that forces you to look at all the progress you ARE making, to drive those demons from that last sentence away. I needed it all the time. Cut-and-paste stuff you write in Chinese in this journal (on private), at least. I promise you, you'll look at stuff you wrote a month ago and go: "wow, was I really that bad a month ago?"
