Is it really disadvantage for a foreigner to find job in another country? I'm a footwear designer and live here in jinjiang for so many months now. But I still feel the downside of finding another company. They do hire foreigners but the problem they can't speak with me so how is it possible to switch another company. I've been learning chinese but I rarely use it to communicate, I don't feel confident with my basic chinese only my chinese husband can understand me since we mix filipino and chinese words in our communication.

Just sharing~ I just like to share If there's anyone interested in learning korean. I wanted to learn korean before since I work in Korean-Chinese Company.

book reading to learn~ i have this spoken chinese book. it's really a useful book where i can learn mandarin through pinyin.. it contains words in chinese-pinyin-english.. but the thing is i rarely touch it.. i've been here since march but still i never learn or speak anything besides xiexie and ting budong hahaha.. although i've also work here 3yrs ago and stay 6mon i still come home not learn any other words.. pronouncing is really my biggest struggle.. so me and my co-workers who are younger than me who all major english end up laughing coz of how i read it.. but sometimes they say i pronounce it correctly but since they all speak english and they want to improve their english i never bother to learn chinese coz i have them to translate for me.. i always call them if i need them to talk to drive or cook.. so i just learn how to order food first~ i need to survive right? hahaha. but sometimes it really frustrating if I want to be on my own i cant .~~
