| Thanks for your blog. I think you are doing a great job and hope to meet you some day if you come to Australia. About English, it is not a question of whether to or not, but better to! As an overseas born Chinese I know several languages. But English opened doors for me that any other language could not. It is still a white man's world, and for me being proficient in English only adds to my wide range of skills, and enables me not to be disadvantaged in dealing with whites. Today English is important, yesterday it was Latin and Greek etc. But I am learning Mandarin. It is a lovely language and every Chinese ought to feel proud. More Chinese can speak better English than whites can speak Mandarin, so guess who is better off? But at the end of the day, we all belong to the same human family and whatever language we use, it is the language of love and understanding that is supreme. |
