>>42 I've been learning Japanese for about two and a half years now. My teacher says I have the potential to learn the language easily but I have to spend more time practicing. Yes, I was born in China.

Yeah, one of the biggest reasons why I gave up on continuing my Chinese education was that the language just seemed too hard. I travelled a lot during my childhood and never had the opportunity to gain foundation studies in any language. Up to this point in my life, I've spent most of my years in Canada so I just picked up English as my primary language. "我是学生." means "I'm a student." right?

>>43 "加油"... I have no idea what that means. I can speak a bit of my province's dialect of Mandarin to communicate with my parents. I speak a tiny bit of standard Mandarin. I can understand most of my province's Mandarin and standard Mandarin. I can pick up a few lines of Cantonese after listening to my friends. And my writing and reading of Chinese in general is horrible.
