That's awesome! If its going to be Manadrin, tell him Mandarin isn't scary, my prof triggers my anxiety around it, but my homework I actually find fun. I make flash cards with the symbols on them and my sister will randomly take one and demand to know what it is XD The only thing that's a pain in the ass is that you're basically learning two languages, since the symbols are not phonetic. And the tones you have to watch but once you get an ear for it, its not bad.
