Well i was brought to China with my Family so before that I didn't have any plans to learn chinese. But then I went to high school in shanghai for 3 years and I didn't have the chance to learn any Chinese at all. It was like living in a bubble.

I took the shuttle bus to school. The school was all fenced in. After school I would go home by shuttle bus and we lived in a compound which was also all fenced in. I didn't use any Chinese and I didn't integrate into the Chinese culture whatsoever.

So after I graduated I decided that I definitely have to learn it before I leave China. Little did I know that it would be so hard hehe

Okay! That's so cool! Yes, being there isn't enough. You needed immersion. So I get it... I was in Taiwan for a year when I was in 6th grade and everyone practiced their English on me. 😁

Hahah I can imagine. That was the situation when I was in Shanghai, so many people wanted to learn English.
