Hello, I’m new here, just wanted to introduce myself a little.
My name is Ken, I’m from China. My native language is Cantonese, and I also consider Mandarin as my native language. Because I learnt both languages as I grew. I am also very good at some computer languages too. So I thought I was good at language learning, until I started learning English.
I have been in US for 5 years. I got my MS in computer science and worked for a small software company for years. I talk very little, because my coworkers only focus on their computer screen, and the language we use? Computer programming languages. When I am home, I talk to my girlfriend with Chinese, so it is hard for me to get more practices.
It is so embarrassing to tell people I am still not good at English after being here for such a while. I finally made up my mind to learn to use English as my another “native” language.
I bought some TV episodes and watched them over and over again, just wanted to figure out how people use English daily. I also tried to imitate how people talk. But I just found out people in my TV episodes might not be normal human beings. What kind of TV shows do I watch? The big bang theory and Star wars (Clone wars). LOL
Anyway, hello to everyone.
