Speak Chinese!

Dear Justin and Lilly (Laura’s Parents),

I’m learning Chinese!!! Your daughter is an excellent teacher. I admit I’m having a little trouble mastering the tones, especially the third one. The first time I tried to order a beer I apparently said, “I want leather feet.” Bathroom also took me a while to get down. I think I embarrassed Laura a little muttering it under my breath for about 20 minutes while we were on the tiger excursion. Anyway, the following is a list of Chinese words / phrases I have “mastered”

Hello

P.S. Of all the Chinese food I have eaten so far, yours is still the best
