If I understand correctly, you (Pravit) said you started speaking Chinese before I did. How long exactly?
And of course, it isn't exactly a fair competition, because if I had as much time off as you have, I would beat you with my hands tied behind my back. You know that.
You know what? I'm kinda considering taking a year off between school and university and just perfecting my Russian, Chinese and Arabic. And travelling a little bit. To Russian, Chinese and Arabic-Speaking Countries, of course.
I got my course sometime during the winter holidays, so you could say that I started in earnest a little bit before New Year's.

C'mon, Jas, don't be so serious about our competition. I am using the competition just as a way to prevent me from quitting of boredom(hey, my "winmanship" is at stake here ). And I do believe learning Chinese characters and Arabic words aren't quite the same ballgame as learning Russian words(why again, pray tell, did you have such a harder time with Arabic? )

I would like to travel around too. Maybe I will be travelling around in Uighur areas and I will see you calling adhaan at a mosque
