Ok,let me reword what you have said. The sentence "Now I look article is OK" is not correct exactly. You'd better say "Now I can read some articles" instead. And for your question, I want to say, the only way to improve your English is more practice. I suggest you registering on MSN and make some penpals from other questions. And then take any chance to communicate with foreign friends. You will never know how your English it is until you use them exactly. There is a Penpal Website: http://www.hipenpal.com/data/index.php?ln=en Good luck!

Of course the Mandarin Chinese is more popular and used. As far as I can see, Cantonese is only used in Guangdong and Guangxi province and so on.

You can add me. I am gald to make progress with you together. But remember to tell me who you are when you add me.

I am sorry to hear that. But it's a little complicated. Many Chinese people especially the old are still traditional. I guess it's not your fault but the fact that you are a foreign girl. Many Chinese parents don't know how to communicate and get along with a foreign daughter-in-law. I guess that's why they don't accept you. You must realise this. However, as far as I can see, you don't need to give up right now. If you really love your boyfriend and want to be a part of his family, you have to prepare to make efforts to get along with his parents and other relatives. Learning Chinese is not only a need but also a must in this situation. Communicate more with his parents and let them know more about you. At the same time, tell your bf what are you thinking and feeling and face every difficulty with him together. It's very hard to have and remain a transnational marriage. If you want to, then protect it! Good luck!
