Chinese Problems

<p>Ok, I've noticed that Chinese people seriously judge Chinese-Americans who can't speak Mandarin flawlessly. I swear to god, sometimes it's so demoralizing to see the condescension. Does anyone else have the same feeling? </p>

<p>Yup. Luckily my parents forced me to learn Chinese from a young age, although my writing and reading is still terrible. I can speak it though. </p>

<p>If you’re having this problem, are you learning another language?</p>

<p>@woandering I can speak it, just no perfectly like so many others. And yeah, I’m learning Spanish and Latin in school.</p>

<p>My parents don’t really judge them…they just point it out, but that bothers me, too. I can’t speak flawlessly, but I was born in China and talk to my parents in Chinese, so I have a decent foundation. :P</p>
