When western people speaks Chinese,,even if there are some accent,but we can 80% or 100percent understand them usually. we have four tones,but if foreigners can not distinguish that, we can guess the meaning too.
so,the anwser is good,perfect,not bad to communciate. On the other hand,like if someone who can send a video on the net, his Chinese is always more closer to the normal Chinese,we can not hear some difference.

The grammar is easy,,sometimes in oral speaking the sequence is not limited.so do not concern too much when you are speaking.like 我爱吃蛋糕今天，今天我爱吃蛋糕，我今天爱吃蛋糕，蛋糕我爱吃今天，we can use them in speaking whatever we like without grammar faults at least in speaking.
You should speaking more,using more phrases then you can listen to and understand them freely.
but only require a few bunch of basic words you can speak fluently.OF course, I never think Chinese has so much grammar ,just speak it.
After getting enough most-used words,you will find out the phrases are easy,and they are just a result where limited words have a different kind of combineing behavior.
0 votedMay 31, 20150If you want to know China more,you can try some ancient books,like 东周列国志(dong zhou lie guo zhi), even the Chinese not everyone have watched it.but the most amazing stories are within.some old ancient native uses are from that book like 图穷匕见，退避三舍,which tells a true Chinese character with feelings and affection,after that period China has suffered attacks from the huns and other nomads who has assaulted the country over and over again...so Chinese's character has changed a lot.
Even if today China's comic is much less as great as Japanese',or China has been suffered from the war,we complain about the air pollution or traffic jams,worried about the food quality and health condition,but after so many years,I finally know that a fact that I don't "know" my country.
The culture has involved a lot of mysterious things that mordern people has not understood.
Give you a little example,,I thought I understand our people,because we know the history,but when i was young,I can not figure out why our grandparents always were so economized, I thought we don't have to do this,but today I finally know because in their period they has suffered famine, wars,as a mordern people I have not tastied any of it, of course I can not figure out why they are so economized.So why Chinese today has some flaws that foreign people don't understand, is because they has not gone through it.Of course they can not know it.

The running man奔跑吧兄弟(ben pao ba xiong di) is a little longer,but very funny,using not difficult words too. If you want to know some culture things, introduce you 卧虎藏龙，荆轲刺秦王 and 英雄，十面埋 伏 （Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon、jingke ci qinwang/ hero/ House of Flying Daggers/） but the Jet Li's huangfeihong series is the best kongfu movie. 黄飞鸿之男儿当自强 is the best show.0 votedMay 21, 20152
- Need some advice about my future of English
My biggest problem is should I regard English as a career or not,and should I persist it as a dream?
I had a dream in English that I want to be a native speaker, since 2011 after I met a kind English person, and I got a great grades after that.
I had been a bad grades student since I was in middle school around 12 years old.From the elementary school I didnt work hard until the day I take the test to go to college, that year I studied so hard that I brought out all the potential of life.Luky me I successfully went to college after I got a grade that was the lowest level of the attending level ,,it was so harsh.
My father luckily chose a major for me :finance, that major emphysized more on English oral speaking, we have oral speaking class for 4 years,,and the great thing in my life was I encountered an English person and started making conversation for serval times in 2011.My English grades zoomed up like a jet from 398 to 516(710 full) ,,a very important English test. And I also got a third prize of the national English contest for college students,,I had taken it for three times since 2009 and the third time(in 2011) I got this prize.
Since I made a communciation with my English friend,I gradually spent more time on making new English friends.In the process I could tasted the happiness that the foreign friend who liked the Chinese culture I represented,and the joy we communciated with each other.. So my English slowly become more mature,and more practical,, even if I had the oral speaking class for 4 years in college,but I rather concentrated more on making language exchanges which had lasted for 4years since 2011. Meeting with many foreign people makes me believe I don t have to doubt my speaking skills, I know the speaking is the most important thing in learning a language.So I think I got the key..And I believe one day I can make significant thing in English.like big success.I have never doubted myself for 4 years.
I graduated in July,2013.
But after about 2 years working in the bank,I felt big pressure and I know it's not a good chioce to stay any longer in the place. So I resigned form the bank ,also I knew I can be succeed in my English, even if many people dissuaded me from this insane idea,,,but I just resigned because I believed I will conquer any obstacle. I took nearly 4 months in home and recited many words, I found out I can understand many novels,and most importantly,I can speak whatever I want to say in some simple topics.I thought I acquire what I want but, today ,I found out I can not hear clearly in TOEFL，(I challenge it for the first time in my life yesterday)and there is only 7 days left until the testing day. Other three parts are ok.But the fact that I can not hear the listening part is really tearing me apart. gloomy
I never doubt my courage,and I believe I m 80 percent right that I will speak English like a native speaker one day.But I have been stayed in my house without job for 3 months, if it goes on, I think i would be crazy.But the truth in China is one person without a good educational background can not get a good job.
I just have a bachelor degree..
My only good thing is English.
I dont know I should persist in English or give up. look at it as a dream or not?
Thanks for your attention.cheers.
May 8, 201542 - What level is The IT crowd?
Hi, I learned something from the IT crowd about long sentences trying to use them in talkings,,so I don't know the level that is about,,like the long sentence :you can see a ridicoulous man who has exhausted all his resources ,his energys to an expensive trial which resulted in humiliation."
like "weakened,irritabillity,anxiety,breast tenderness,,but you can not tell the entire community that we have the PMT"
like "I still can remember the circumstance here a lot of more condusive than what I remember an excutive calling 'working skirt'"
.......
I don't know if I speak like this,can I "pretend" to be a good English speaker? and this sitcom level seems much more related to normal life,not so specific in subjects,the ways they are talking and the sentences,are they common level in English countries?
Thank you!!!
