Feeling Quite Stupid

I had a 1.5 hour break from teaching today so I decided that I would take a walk around the area near the school and go look at a gym. On the way there I saw a Chinese man with two beautiful dogs: a black lab and a siberian husky. The man was giving the dogs all these commands in Chinese....

All I could think was woah these dogs know 100x more Chinese than I do which in turn made me feel quite stupid.

The good news is that we signed up for our Mandarin classes last night and will be starting them on Tuesday morning. We are going to be taking 6 hours of lessons a week so maybe after a few months I can understand more Chinese than the dogs.
