Thinking of something, and then write it down, it becomes a habit of mine now. At the moment, I want to record two questions some Chinese learners asked me.
The first question, also the most times being asked, goes like “have you ever seen a lot of foreigners speak Mandarin”. In my experience, just much fewer people have been seen doing that compared with the big Chinese population of studying foreign languages, whatever who I met on internet or in real life.
Some people have ever asked me that have I so far noticed someone non-native speaker speaking Mandarin damn well. Yes, there is a Canadian who is the stellar one I have ever perceived. Mark Henry Rowswell, whose level of knowing Chinese language, is even much higher than a good number of native speakers. Recently, I saw his post of Chinese poetry.
