I have always believed that Chinese language should be taught in every school in the US along with Spanish. English, Chinese and Spanish are the most spoken languages in the world. There are Chinese communities in almost every country. Since China plays a very important part in the world's economy, having many people in our side of the world fluent in Chinese would help improve economic and political relations of both countries. I always wanted to learn Chinese and I even bought a set of CD's, but it is not the same. Being able to find a native speaker to help me learn how to maintain a conversation has not been possible.

Yes! Like I said there are Chinese communities in almost every country. In US only we have Chinese families that have lived for many generations. These families still hold on to their ancestors language and culture. Many Chinese value education and most of them are professionals. I believe that one way we can all value the contribution of this community is embracing their language and their culture instead of looking at them as "outsiders".

Welcome to Instructables !

As Kitemam mentions, I too am very much on the "other side of the world" literally,  
Do not be to harsh with yourself about English.  American English is full of contradictory rules, because it is made up of many different languages. 
You do very well.

I am happy you feel more confident. Believe me; many "people" in the USA do much worse than you do, and it is their native language.

I'm on the other side of the planet, but welcome to the site anyway.

Your English is far better than my Chinese.

There are quite a few New Zealander and Australian members, so even if you can't find somebody from Chrstchurch, at least they'll be in the same time-zone.

Thank you so much for you pay attention on my Comment..

I took too much time to learn English but still think not good enough. Of course the Chinese is quite difficult language and if you thought it is like as kind of the art that it should feel better even not easy to learn it well.

I know this website because we are looking for the good style stuffs for my cafe in Christchurch. It is so amazing to meet nice things and people here. I hope will make more friends who come from anywhere..even they are not in my same time-zone...:)
