Short story. I’ve got a new housemate residing in room C. He’s from UK and doing his internship in an Australian bank here – well it seems to me everyone in the house except me is working in a bank. My first impression is that he’s a really nice guy. His accent is clear that his english is very audible.
Just this morning, I learned a surprising thing. We had a bit of conversation with another housemate while suddenly some repair-men coming to set up the mirror. They spoke in Chinese but the British man could quite understand what those two men were talking. I was puzzled. He said he used to stay in China for a while.
So this sounds really pathetic. I’m chinese I can’t speak chinese. He can speak chinese. He’s not chinese. He’s not even asian. He’s a british.
Well, he’s undertaking his exam for a license to work in a stock market. So best of luck to him.
donald trump said: focus on the solution: go and learn LAA~ hahahaha~ im joinin chinese tuition too T____________T after a year delay hope i can improve my chinese too!
best of luck.. i wanna learn.. but no chance.. too shy to speak even in the hawker center.. although i actually know what to reply.. >_<
I cant speak chinese too. in fact, i dont like it coz it’s so hard to learn. haha xD I want to be able to speak japanese :p
ohhh…come on young man! im super shy too, bcoz my pronouncation is terrible that i even hate it when i heard it come out from my mouth, but it’s also the reason why i go to learn.
i want to learn japanese too! *heart all japanese dramas* but i figured out that i should put mandarin as priority- bcoz i need it more than japanese
after im advanced in mandarin then i will go for japanese too ^^
jia you! dont say ‘no chance’!
hawker centre is a chance!
@angels: in fact, i have a japanese too in my house, but we rarely meet and although i know how to greet in japanese.. i don’t do that haha.. maybe i should.. after all, i’m not that shy if it’s about japanese
@meke: actually yes.. should start! remind me!
@peggy: i think i would be more confident if it’s another language and again the same as you.. what draws me back is the pronounciation and intonation >_<.. i feel like i'm giving out some dirt everytime i speak mandarin.. oklah.. should try.. jia you! you too
