About ten years ago when I finished Grade 12 in Beijing and moved to Toronto
for high school, there were very few Chinese students in the school. Most
of Chinese students were in universities doing graduate level research. In
terms of English, my fellow students and I faced a different challenge from
those in graduate schools. We had to study English together with the local
students, and study physics, chemistry, biology, in English. It is a big
transition for us.

I love Chinese, and I am just curious about this technologically. | f*******a
发帖数: 80 | 5 There are three things you do in your native language: curse, pray, and
count.
There are only handful of expressions for one to curse, like "F**k, s**t,
ass***e' and most chinese don't pray. Therefore, the first two subjects are
not good way to evaluate if the language is still "native" to you.
Count is different. I extend it to doing mathematics or performing logic
reasoning. Could you do math in English in your mind? If so, then English
has invaded the last territory marked as "native" in you |
