    Love your big smile ~ As a Chinese, I'd like to speak English when I come across a foreigner on the street. It's the satisfaction or the confidence I get from managing making a conversation with them that make me happy, especially when I helped foreign tourists out. Maybe that's why you want to speak Chinese in China, too. Actually, I feel a little bit envious about Europeans because they can speak so many languages like English, French or German. Are you European?

    • @qjtvaddict

    Selling the same things on the same street is very normal in China, merchants gather together and form a phenomenon to attract people interested in those particular kind of things. There’s a saying called 货比三家, they compare all the stores, since the stores are gathered together it’s easier for them to pick the worthiest stuff :)

    It’s so hard to retain a language when you never use it. High school and college i was studying German and for a little while I had a private tutor for Russian. Every time i would try to speak Russian though in front of my Russian friends I would feel so embarrassed that I wasn’t saying it correctly. When I was in China I would try to learn a word a day because I can’t stand speaking English in a country that didn’t originally spoke it, but I was there was too many days lol. So btw when I would be at the bund I would always think about how it would of been so perfect if flying cars existed. That would of been so cool.

    I knew a few languages before going to China and have since learnt Chinese. I soon discovered just how commodified English was. People would thurst themselves in my face just to practice their English. English fever as they call it. So I soon tried to make friends outside of work in any language but English and there I found people were less interested in just practicing their language and more interested in developing a friendship. I'm generalizing, yes, but I still found it to be common enough for English to be way too commodified and soulless.
