OMG THAT WOULD BE HORRIBLE! My first year text book was simplified only, but this year my book has both - although fortunately we're still only learning simplified. I hope this doesn't change any time soon because...I think my hand might fall off if I had to write that many strokes.
Haha, we're learned that tongue twister our first year! I still can't really say it quickly.
Since our TA still has to talk to use like we're, you know, five I haven't really noticed the s/sh thing. But god if I were in your position my head would be spinning.
I'm planning on spending next summer in Tianjin, but I'm a little anxious since I've heard the accent there is really kind of slurred (or so a friend from Beijing has told me). I feel like the whole time I'm just going to be like, “对不起，对不起！什么？。。。什么？对不起，我不懂听。” D:
