I love Chinese, it's far more flexible than English. But, slackers like me are often too lazy to type Chinese. Plus, the area I used to live in has almost no Chinese. The only way I can survive is to speak and write in English. And, ususally I don't like to speak any foreign language in front of people, because sometimes they feel uneased from such isolations.whatever@2003-03-19 10:17
Buddy, I know exactly what you feel. In my school, my cousins and I are the only people who can speak Chinese. We used to talk in Chinese when we are in school, even sometimes I feel don't like it. And people always try to figure out what we said, and sometime, they ask us what we said, and I used to tell them too. Well, that's lot of trouble, but it's cool to talk in Chinese sometime, because no one else could speak your language.Lizard@2003-03-22 06:29

Try to write a short novel in English. It helps a lot.

I understand, and I am in a worse situation. Everyone around me speak Cantonese!? And of course, someone from Beijing (i.e. me) found it a pain in the ass, because you know they are talking something similar, but you have no way of figuring it out...
Unlike you, I am extremely concerned about my ethical identity. I speak Chinese whenever I can (unless talking to native English speakers of course), and my parents are quite frustrated that they cannot practice English at home (I am still in high school). But I don't want to live a life that is no different from others. I am Chinese, and I think the Chinese way. And the only thing I cannot tolerate is to be completely assimilated and lose my identity. As a result...
I am in Scarborough/Toronto, and I wish to find some friends here, hehe.
Nice to meet everyone!!

Well, I could speak both Cantonese and Mandarin pretty well, but ah.. in my school, nobody can understand these two Chinese languages except my three cousins and a new Chinese student(I just talked to him twice in 3 months).Lizard@2003-03-25 04:53

I'm come from Hefei, but my mom's family are all Cantonese. My family members in the United States are all speak Cantonese.But I can't,too poor.Whan I was a child, my grandparents are used to ask me to learn Cantonese. But I never did that, because I really don't like this kind of language. I think Madarin is sounds more pretty.I came here, I found some of my cousins who were born in here, they only can speak Cantonese and English, they even cannot speak or understand any Mandarin!sharky@2003-03-26 01:58
So, what is wrong with Cantonese?jingwen@2003-03-26 06:50
