I never ever have had it before ) . So I share my joy to with my Taiwanese friends and commend recommend them to use Italki .
However , they thought think the reason I learn English so hard is to study or work abroad , then I explained to them that I just want to practice my speaking and making make friends , then they said : Oh so you want a CCR? (Cross -Culture Romance ) why don't you wear so hot dress up and go to nightclubs ,it's more esay to easier than Italki~~

WT........(you know what I mean) and my parents asked me to stop using Italki and take TOIEC or IELTs as soon a possible , it may might be easier to find a good job, or I stay at home like coach potato (米蟲). It's very depressing to me .

One day , I went to zhong shan book street to find a manual which was recommended by Miguel commend me , but I can't couldn't find it , there is was no English-English grammar book ,there is only but Chinese-English book and most of their titles is were about : how to get high score on in TOIEC/IELTs/TOEFL .

I enjoy reading your essay, along the way I have also learned some Taiwanese slangs, haha. About your friend's insinuation that you learn English for bad reason, I was reminded of my friend who said I learn Japanese because of Japanese pornography, haha. Everyone has that one friend, don't you agree?

Some Reflections about Taiwan's English Education

Since I use using Italki, I've made a lot's of foreigner friends, and exchanged lots of knowledge. It's a special unique experience for me, because it's the ''first time'' I have made foreigner frirend friends, (really.... I never even had one ever have it before ). So I shared my joy to my Taiwanese friends and recommended them to use Italki Italki to them.


However, they thought the reason I wanted to learn English so hard is was to study or to work abroad. , then I explained them that I just wanted to practice my speaking and makeing friends. Then they said: Oh, so you want a CCR? (Cross -Culture Romance). Why don't you wear something hot and go to nightclubs? It's more esay easier to Italki~~

WT........(you know what I mean) and my parents asked me to stop using Italki and take the TOIEC or IELTs as soon a possible. They said it makes it easier to find a good job, or else I'll stay at home like coach potato (米蟲. It's was very depressing to me hear that.

One day, I went to zhong shan book street to find a manual which that Miguel recommend me, but I can't couldn't find it. Also, there is were no English-English grammar books ,there is only Chinese-English books and most of their titles were: How to get high score on TOIEC/IELTs/TOEFL .


Why has learning English become so utilitarian [I like utilitarian; pragmatic could also work]?(wow , a new word ~~功利的)


Learning Languages is one way of exchanging our culture, our mind, isn't it?

When Once my English is better, I can will tell you more about Taiwan's good and bad, hahahaha .

Btw, I had a great session yesterday with my friend, Chris . We found that both of us are big fans of Steven Chou(周星馳) big fans !!!!!! lol

And Chris is still amazed that I speak better than I write, it's which is rare for among Asians.OMG, how poor is my grammar 啦齁~哈哈哈


I wish to have language exchange sessions every day!!! I want to practice my speaking.

The utilitarian attitude to everithing is becoming quite general in many countries, I see it in Russia, I feel it in China and you tell of it in Taiwan. It's sad, it seems to me it's a kind of perversion. People believe that a good salary or beeng a big boss could make them happy. But I think wealth and happiness are different things: it is not necessry to be wealthy in order to become happy, and wealth does not make people happy, as far as I can see.
