His good English skill hasn’t changed since the day when we first met in US in 2007.
But his mother language is not English, but Mandarin Chinese.
After he started dating me, he learned Japanese very quickly….but my Chinese skill is…..
I took a Chinese class (beginner level for American student) for 1 year at school in US.
After I came back to Japan, I took a private Chinese class for 6 months (beginner~introduction level) in Ikebukuro in Tokyo, and last year I also took an open-class for business workers for 1 year (beginner~introduction level again)….
and now I don’t study Chinese at all again. lol
My Chinese skill remains beginner level for 7 years, but I think I’m good at the pronunciation.
Because all beginner class start from pronunciation. hahaha
I don’t really have problems if I cannot speak Chinese, but need to understand if I wanna talk with Jeff’s family.
Last month his mother and brother came to Japan.
They talked a lot, but I couldn’t really understand.
I always feel regretful every time I meet them…
I’m gonna really start studying Chinese again to go up to the intermediate level!!!
