I always feel a bit shamed by how everybody in other countries seems to be so amazing at English. I've never visited China, but I seldom come across Europeans who don't speak wonderful English (while apologising for their "bad" English). It's been the case in every European country I've been too. It's even more impressive with people like the Chinese who's written and spoken language is really, really different from ours! I can't even comprehend trying to learn Chinese! I really wish we were taught language better and from a younger age in the UK.
