I'm glad for all the discussion. It's very motivating to hear people's success and failure stories, and the encouragement is well received. Thanks guys!

I tried listening to an Elementary lesson, and I was a little frightened. My first thought was, "How will I ever be able to follow this?" I know I'll get there in time, and I'm not giving up!

Watched Jet Li's Fearless last night and understood many words. This is fun. :)
