Do you have any pictures around where you live? I like seeing pictures from random non-large city places. I've been working closely with an ESL Chinese guy at my job for the past 6+ years, and I've developed a habit of constantly gesturing when I talk with him (to the point when I now do it when talking to other people as well). Like, any time I say a number I'll instinctively hold up fingers and stuff. I've also sort of learned "how to talk to ESL people (or at least ESL Chinese people)" which is its own skill of sorts. I think that a lot of native English speakers do not realize how tough it is to understand the way they speak for non-native speakers, especially when they speak fast and use a lot of slang and stuff.

Grand Fromage posted:That's not too uncommon, Cao and Gan are two common surnames that can also mean gently caress in the correct tone. Does Chinese have actual curse words (for example words that children generally aren't allowed to say)? Because I know that Japanese doesn't really (it has words that are crass sorta, but not treated in the same way English speakers treat "gently caress", "poo poo", etc), though Japanese is obviously a dramatically different language from Chinese.
