Chinglish Diaries- Speaking is Learning

我只会说一点点中文，并且我的中文非常不好看. 我的听力理解只是一般般，但是中国人老让我明白多于我真的明白(？？？表示不懂.) 所以, 我微笑点头, 和告诉 something like, “可能” 或 “想.” 学的中文越多的停留在了我的脑子里. 语言 是 交流; 如果你没有交流, 你没有学习

Irony: 只说 easy 东西太难了. Said another way: 我要告诉很多东西, 但是我需要 focus on the beginning 单词 (不很有趣). 学习 走, 然后学习泡. 我还在企图站起来 :) 加油！

I only speak Chinese a bit, and my reading is atrocious. My listening is just okay, but many Chinese always think I understand more than I really do. So I just smile and nod, and say something like, "Maybe" or "I think so." But then all of my Chinese learning stays in my head. Language is communicating; if you aren't communicating, you aren't learning.

Irony: only saying easy things is very difficult. Said another way: I want to say so many things, but I must focus on the beginning words (which aren't as interesting). Learn to walk, THEN learn to run. I'm still trying to stand up :) Let's do this!

Just another day in paradise,
