    My chinese ex trying to teach me to say hello:

    ex: "say 'ni hao'"

    me: "ni hao"

    ex: "no, more like, 'ni hao'"

    me: "ni hao"

    ex: "almost, try again: 'ni hao'"

    me: "ni hao"

    ex: "great! perfect!"

    me: "ni hao"

    ex: "oh no not at all like that"

    and so on

    which iss all to say I really respect people who are able to learn languages as adults. it is difficult!
