About me: Born and raised in San Francisco, California. Had all of my education in the United States. Family is from Mainland China and Taiwan. Went to two bilingual schools – in the United States – instructions were in English and Mandarin Chinese for the entire day. Mandarin Chinese is my native language. It is spoken at my home and at my job. English, Cantonese Chinese, Mexican Spanish were the languages I learned in both elementary school – and as a young child. German was the language I learned during my teen years. In recent years, I lived in Taiwan and learned the Hokkienese Chinese dialect. Hokkienese Chinese, unfortunately, is still a dialect because the number of native speakers and learners have not reached a percentage where it can be called a language. Hopefully, this will change one day.

I had a great class with Jade. We had an engaging chat about the places we live in, our personal lives and some interesting cultural differences we noticed from living in different countries. Her Cantonese is great, and I'm sure she'll be fluent in it given time and continued practice. However, I'm slightly baffled about her comment about my pronunciation. Being a native Cantonese speaker from HK, I've always been speaking Cantonese the way it's spoken there. A variant of the so called "lazy tone" is prevalent in HK and is widely spoken and accepted there. I did tell Jade in the class that I can only guide her to speak the way the people speak it in HK, as I'm a native speaker, and not a linguist. I wish Jade all the best on her Cantonese journey.

It was great to see Jade again and work together to improve her Cantonese by having a conversation in it.

Miss Chen speaks Cantonese pretty good, especially the pronunication. Basic expression is also good. She can now use Cantonese to communicate with the others fluently. Just one point I would like to remind that some words in Cantonese should not be copied from Mandarin directly such as 一般。

    '我打車上班' 在國語 – 普通話 – 裡面是錯誤的. 其他中國的方言, 例如: 上海話, 這句話 – 在上海話裡面 – 可能是正確的. '坐車' 與 '搭車', 改成 '坐公車' 與 '搭公車'. 只講 '騎車' 太廣泛了. 為何? 因為, 其他人看到這個句子會問: 騎什麼樣的車? 是 '騎自行車', 還是 '騎摩托車'? '坐摩托車' 是錯誤的, 因此不能簡稱為 '坐車'. '騎摩托車' 才是正確的. 哪些情況會用到這些句子? 遇到了那些情況就很自然的會用到這些句子. 這些句子, 口語與書語是一樣的. 最後我要講: Wow! 你是從印尼來的! 我對你會寫正體字感到很訝異! 你非常了不起! 佩服! 佩服!

    为什么学习外语？

    二十一世纪就是国际化的时代。 人们通常在学校学习两个或三个语言在学校，英文和第三语言。我在上高中时选择了中文为以第三个语言。 但是， 我的中文还是不好。 我觉得学习外语的过程是一个辛苦， 但也很有趣， 的经验。 对我来讲／而言，语言是一个复杂还也是一个有规则的系统。语文法是语言的动作原理，而词汇就是言语语言的基本单位。因为不管世界上的哪一种语言， 都共有这个结构，学习的基本办方法差不多。人们学习外语的原因是： 要赚更多的钱，求职，结婚，拿到理想的大学成绩 etc等等。 可是我学习外语的理由原因是为了扩大我的世界越来越广。文学，电影，电视剧，其他艺术，思想，和新的关系跟另外的人，未来的机会。


    以下是我给你的建议及评论：

    来讲／而言： 这两个字都可以用， 看你想用哪个字就用那个字。

    注明： "那" 和 "哪" 是不一样的。

    中文的 etc... 是 "等等"。

    "文学，电影，电视剧，其他艺术，思想，和新的关系跟另外的人，未来的机会"。 这句完全不通！  请告诉我你想要讲什么好让我跟你讲怎么样写这个句子， 谢谢！

    基本上你是写的不错。 继续努力！ 加油！

    Order! Order!

    This is just to say that I am here to say I fell in love with a new man: the speaker of the UK Parliament.

    He is charismatic, enthusiastic, and well-mannered.

    And What is more important is he knows how to make silent to silence an entire chamber of cocks everyone in the room.

    I really wish he was the President in my country, yelling at everybody to "shut up".

    There are uncountable is an endless amount of problems that would which can be solved if chatty noisy politicians were quiet.

    I think he would also be a great flatmate, especially when asking for order to my noisy neighbour (and their unbearable music).

    To say that in few words, I just need someone who call to order into my life. And someone who does so wearing a wonderful tie. I need you order-man!

    Note, for you:

    You meant "crooks", not "cocks". A crook, plural: crooks, is a criminal. A cock is a male chicken, and in North American English it means a penis and a male chicken. Capitalize a honorific titled word such as: Parliament, President. 'Noisy' is a better word than 'chatty' because noisy brings more intensity to the sentence than chatty. For flatmate, you can also use the word: roommate. The / symbol at the end of 'flatmate' means 'also'. The last two sentences make absolutely no sense, so I did not correct it. Please write in the comments below what you want to say for the last two sentences, and I will guide you on how to write the sentences correctly.
