if you're one of those wholly headed out there who thinks chinese is stupid, think again. if you cannot even master your mother tongue, don't think bout mastering other FOREIGN languages. oh mother!

no language is dumb. every language has it's own beauty in it's unique expressions and subtle meanings. if you cannot master chinese and therefore think it's dumb, think again, who's the stupid one here.

i mean i've made the concession that it's alright to not be able to speak perfect mandarin like how little can speak impeccable, articulate english, at least learn to appreciate the beauty and the ancientness of the language. it's here ages before anyone of us were born. respect people, respect!

come to think of it, what's the reference point or the benchmark for a perfect language? The American/British accent for english? Or the Shanghai/Beijing shrr-shrr of the tongue when speaking Mandarin?! nahhh, it's rubbish. I think proper pronounciation of the words without any artificial 'style' in any language would suffice.

back to topic. come on people, embrace your chinese roots while taking advantage of the american circumstances. just like how it is in joy luck club, the best will be to have chinese culture and american circumstances.

i'll smack my brother if he gets less than a B3 for his higher chinese again.
