I never practice anymore, and when I was in Spain last year I think I just came off like an idiot. Chinese is a miserable language, and here they mix it a lot with the local languages (taiwanese or hakka) which pretty much sucks ass. I'm getting better, but it's completely different from learning it in school and having to live and interact with people every day. Whenever someone who just came here asks me what to say to a girl I tell them "Ni yao chi wode jiji", which directly translates to "do you want to eat my dick". It usually works out fantastically for the other person.

Yeah, I don't like how they try to teach 2nd languages in the us, especially Spanish. Completely different when you try to talk to someone who has that native language, especially the cadence in which they speak

Also, random Asia fact of the day: The racial term for Korean people (at least in the Chinese language) is Pao cai. Which if you translate it is kim chi. LOL

Our cab driver when we went on spring break was joking around with us and tries to get my friends to believe that they called pussy "queso" in Mexico

The kids here speak English really well, but they have no idea how we really talk. It's impossible to speak a language unless you've lived in that culture. Chinese is a tonal language, so that's a whole different ball game anyway. Taiwanese Chinese and Mainland Chinese are completely different as well. The biggest problem in the US is that there is no real need to speak another language. English is the international business language, everyone speaks it. Compared to Europeans our language skills are pathetic, but they also have states like we have countries. If Connecticut and Massachusetts spoke two different languages, you can fucking bet I would have spoke whatever rich person snobby shit that they spoke in Connecticut.
