Next School Year Summer Break starts in about two weeks, and the new school year starts sometime in the beginning on September. I was thinking about taking Chinese as an elective class , my school offers different languages as an elective and I thought it would be great to start learning. I already studied Chinese for a while, but I stopped because I thought I couldn't do it. Also, I took a semester of Japanese in my first year of high and failed. Chinese is harder, but I had a great time learning it. I want to keep learning it, and finish both semesters of Chinese.
