I don't know. Visibly, chinese are everywhere across the country and any city, but the chances are, when you catch a chinese on the street, after the "hello, how are you" and then everything goes to chinese communication, esp. for chinese come from mailand, always sucks

"If you learn, you can", I'd like to say, "if you learned that sentence, you might be able to speak that sentence later on" and you have to rehearse it quite often. my point is, chinse people mentally all operate on a chinese operating system, and no matter how many years you have put your effort to learn english(for those chinese people who were born in canada, that's a totally different story), the chinese operating system can not generate english same as the english generated by the english operating system, so they have to put themselves in an endless learning process, once it stopped, all you have learned, all gone. my father once was an english teacher in china, after many years of teaching math, he can barely speak "hello" and "goodbye" and in a very chinese way, that's it.

for those lucky chinese immigrants who have been granted the opportunities to pursue their careers as they did in china, congrats, but if you take a closer look, the vast majority just follow instructions of their bosses, the communication skills and relationship usually are not strong enough to carry long term business, lots of people will eventually go back to where they come ffrom, part of them choose to stay for their next generation. ok, I have talked too much更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
