I started last year in september and also reached the point where I can understand part of conversation or at least see some structure in the dialogs the chinese speakers are having. The reading and writing was supprisingly easy. I'll put my knowledge to the test when I go to China at the end of april, visiting the parents-in-law. Having a chinese wife sure helps learning chinese. Oh, by the way, I 'm also struggling with Ubuntu, but managed to install SCIM and now can use it to write out the summary of the chinese lessons, as well in chinese characters as in pinyin.
