Here it is... my first entry in a brand new blog about learning Mandarin Chinese.

I am working on a new web entity to serve as an ever-evolving artistic expression of my lifestyle, which I call transcombouge.

I will be heading to Beijing in mid-June and am in need of a serious review of the material I know and some new concepts to explore. I will be using a lot of books and materials, which I will list here later.

For now, welcome to the new blog and I hope my experiences can serve others in their language-learning endeavors.
