Lost in languages
Thursday, October 27th, 2005Twice now in two weeks, my inability to speak my mother-tongue with fluency (if at all) had me shunning human contact (or at least with Chinese-speaking people). Looking at my father giving rousing speeches in Mandarin, makes me really…wishing to be half a globe away. Maybe even that isn’t far enough. After all, Mandarin language is rising in prominence, next to English. I should really start looking into taking Mandarin-speaking language classes. I think I can survive without learning to read and write Mandarin.
But then again….My last attempt to learn the language ended when the course was ended prematurely, due to lack of participants. Sucks, isn’t it? Makes me feel all alone in the world. Only when entering MMU I’ve started coming out of my shell, the way I couldn’t with most of my friends at home.
