Many other races hold their own native language much highly compared to English etc, and I felt quite disgraceful when there are Chinese who can't even handle their own native langauge. What makes you think Chinese is more difficult? The Japanese people speak Japanese and Koreans speak Korean... cos it's only right for one to know and speak one's mother tongue. Why have some local Chinese become such a weird bunch? :handsup: | |
