Magnifying Chinese

I've been earnestly studying Chinese since I arrived here in Shanghai. Every night when I get home from work, the first thing I do is study a lesson from my Pimsleur audio program. I also have a reading textbook that I bought at the bookstore here, & once a week I attend the free Chinese lesson that my school offers. Still, it's slow going - Chinese is hard! Especially since the characters in my dictionary are so tiny - I guess my vision isn't what it used to be. So I bought a magnifying glass at the 2 kuai store. Now I can see those little buggers up close.
