RE: Me no speak Taiwanese: gaining and losing languages

in #life8 years ago

I can relate when it comes to communication with my remaining grandma.. The difference is that I still understood her, and she never hid her disappointment that I couldn't speak Cantonese fluently. It was a big source of shame growing up, and it was only quite recently when Kevin's Hong Kong relatives expressed delight and amazement at my fluent English that I realised I actually had something to be proud of.

Sort:  

My relatives always admired my sister and I for our English @wendles. I think your Cantonese is better than my Taiwanese.

@snooway I doubt it! Hahaha...
