I took the lazy kid's way of taking it back--listening to music, re-watching my favorite dubbed-into-Vietnamese TVB series, etc.

Actually, I don't think that's really a lazy way of doing it at all--that's one of the first things anyone who wants to learn a language will do, if they can. All I've got thus far are DVDs of HK movies, but I guess it's a good starting point.

I really do admire you, Chu. I hope I didn't just insult you. \:

Y'all couldn't. So no worries about that. :-)
