While sitting waiting on a flight in Shanghai... I ordered a watermelon juice. This may not seem like a big deal but being able to order it correctly in a language that is very foreign to me is definitely moving in the right direction. Even after being here for 8 months my spoken mandarin is very limited. I joke that I can order food and get to and from the airport. You see where my priorities are! Ultimately I will agree that Mandarin is one of the most difficult languages I have ever tried to learn,
