I'll be adding more reports in the next few days, probably. <br /><br />Please do read my books! There's a good chance you'll enjoy them. Probably the style of True Son of Heaven is closest to that of these recent blogs, if you like that way of writing. <br /><br />My best languages, in descending order, are English, mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Russian, classical Chinese, and Koine Greek. I actually had a chance to use my very spare French in China -- ran into some tourists whose English was even worse. Languages have always interested me; I did a bit of cramming with a book on basic Korean on the ferry from China last night, and managed to get a useful answer to the question, "Where is the train station?" Now I forgot how to say it, again. : -)David B Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029133398946303654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071813.post-1949835112544215672011-11-03T03:14:46.051-07:002011-11-03T03:14:46.051-07:00I admit, I haven't read any of your books yet....I admit, I haven't read any of your books yet. But I hope you write in your books the way you write these entries. You have a very pleasing, down to earth manner of writing and communicating while still conveying interesting information. Surprisingly rare, really.<br /><br />How many languages do you speak anyway?Crudehttp://crudeideas.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
