Mandarin Chinese Lesson

I was reading a book called “7 frameworks for fundamental business mind” (original title: 勝間和代のビジネス頭を創る７つのフレームワーク力) by Kazuyo Katsuma.  I will write a review of the book itself soon.  It is very interesting and I have to admit that I am very influenced.  So I will try to take a note on this blog about what I learn each day.  You know, I am learning Mandarin Chinese now.  I should have started to take this so thatit could be helpful to other real beginners but anyway.  Nothing is too late.
