I'm doing a lot of traveling to Asia lately for business - I work in the Video Games Industry of all things. My background is Chinese, while as a kid I spoke some Cantonese, I now need to "get my Mandarin ON".

    Hmmm..an usual sentence to describe a woman's eyebrows. Why do I say that? Trying to relate anything on a women to a raptor (a predatory bird of prey) doesn't seem very feminine or soft. In a way, I read the sentence as - this women has eyebrows that betray a kind of danger/strength/power. I maybe going out on a limb, but I imagine this sentence coming from a story about a ruthless, smart business women.

    I'm kinda going through this too but from the other direction. I speak English natively, but I am learning Mandarin. I became shy trying to speak Mandarin to others - "Can I say everything right? Will I remember the words?". That was until a tutor told me to mix English with my Mandarin - just to get used to saying something, even in short phrases in Mandarin - eventually as you get used to the langauge you will start to replace your native words with the foreign language words. It has helped me to "break out" of the shell ;)
