I don’t know if no one can understand my POV, but I get myself into strange situations that are awesome. I speak English, Chinese and Spanish. Once I was in Brazil and while they speak Portuguese, everyone understands Spanish, but not necessarily English. Especially if it’s for a local tourist activity. I saw a pirate ship and thought my kids would love it. So I talked them into selling me tickets and boarded the ship. What I didn’t know was it had nothing to do with pirates, it was a boat to go to an island. And everyone was drunk on caiprinahas.
Anyway while on the boat, suddenly the boat guide person said it’s dancing time. I swear to God every one just started synchronized dancing. I thought it was a flash mob.
Then when we got to the island, on our local side, everyone was dancing and eating Brazilian food. I noticed a fence and looked over and realized half the island was for American tourists. And wow the difference was stark. The Brazilians were dancing and having fun. The Americans were overweight laying on beach towels and not moving. Really makes you think about culture differences.
Ultimately, I don’t know if people can understand my view points. But I am super grateful I know the languages I do because I get to have experiences others simply can’t. As well as I don’t worry about visiting random nations because I’ll almost certainly find someone who can speak a language I know. Like I had to speak Spanish once on top of the great wall.
I don’t understand how that works? I’m too lazy to write in Chinese at the moment since I’m drunk. But how can you be born in Guang Zhou and only have a second grade understanding of Chinese? That said, my Spanish is the worst of the three languages I speak. We are all going to have different levels of languages based on many factors. I’ll tell you what though, you’ll your best language when your smashed out of your mind…
Immigrated to the US after 2nd grade on an immigration visa with my family, which means the Chinese education ended, and so I started school in the US, and learning in English… 明白吗？😅

啊明白了。你那么年轻还能写中文那马好不错。我认识的大陆孩子搬去美国不知不会写中文，多不会说了。恭喜你。
写字啊。。。 👀
我靠拼音来打字。。。忘了怎么用笔来写了。。。
会看，会听，会说，会用电脑打字，不会写。
ah ha ha ha ha. 我也是。我太久没有用笔写字了。但是明显你好认识子已经比很多的人好。我觉得要手写太累了，还有很多人的字我看不懂
