工作学习 / 外语学习 / 当年我决定移民时, 很天真地以为, 以后无论生活工作等等, 只有英文, 没办法用中文了. 有多少人当时是和我同样想法的? :)

没有想过。中文是我们永远都最亲切的语言,尽管您不喜欢我们在这里使用,哈哈。水平有限,无法放弃

No, I didn't mean that. :) From an IT guy's point of view, Chinese is the most optimized language. Before I came, I didn't know there was a huge Chinese community already.

我来时只偶尔能见到讲广东话的华人。酱紫。那时自己的英语和自己的日语一样糟糕,电视没一条能看懂的。现在虽然还很差,确实比当年提高很多了。

//Shake hands// I got lots of embarrassment due to my poor English. Even now. Last week I told my coworkers "This Friday is a black Friday", none of them understood what I was talking about.

Black Friday has a special meaning.

Yes, now I know, finally. It's the last Friday before the American Thanksgiving Day. The interpretation in Chinese is very wrong.

I learned that from VOA English couple of years ago.

他们不知道不等于不存在,几年前有些当地加拿大人连美国的black friday都不知道。美国人还把football这个词给掠夺了,现在足球说football都没人能听懂,非要说soccer。其实美式足球用foot的机会几乎没有,全是hand。呵呵。

我移民时,网络已经比较发达了。当时想:移民后,尽可能不进中文网站,而是尽可能进到英语网站聊天室去。可结果,基本上还是在汉语聊。lol

兄弟我十多年前在call center工作的时候,电话间隙读中文小说月刊,默写古代诗词。电话一响,在0.2秒之内把思维切换回英文。

That's super! Call centre job has a very high requirement on language. Your English must be very good!

我当时以为到了这里,有了英文环境,不用学习,英语自然就会讲得和当地人一样好~~呵呵~~

一朋友讲的孩子的事:不知何时,孩子听大人说:一方水土养一方人,喝哪水长大就会说哪话。结果,这孩子为了早日会说英语,每天喝大量的水。lol

是啊,今天是父亲节,倒是想到我们的孩子们,跟着我们来到完全陌生的国度,走南闯北,甚至颠沛流离。特别是那些来时已不算小的半大孩们,要适应语言,文化的冲击,甚至或明或暗的歧视,一路走来,也都很不容易呀。

+ 1我出国等于经历二次移民,第一次是12岁地域的变迁。我深深了解那种变化的痛,所以坚持让孩子在他的出生地长大,无论自己多苦,无论国内给过的工作机会多么诱人,无论多么思念家乡。
今晚与儿子长谈两小时,非常有意义的一次谈话。
我们在异国他乡,没有别的选择,必须得继续拼。这也不是坏事。在过十年二十年,看看谁瞧得起谁吧。
