gregreichmann Posted July 11, 2006 at 09:23 AM Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 at 09:23 AM Hi There, I am currently an engineer working in London who wishes to learn Chinese. I was wondering if anyone had some advice on the best way to go about it. There are a couple of constraints though. I am working full time shift work and hours often vary and thus attending scheduled classes would be difficult. What are my options? What would be the best way forward? Cheers!
