I’m really embarrassed about this, but here goes: Hi, my name is Lionel and I’m terrible at Mandarin. No, really. I’ve had endless tuition sessions as a kid, I took my AO-level Chinese exam twice, but when people talk to me in Mandarin today, I still end up looking like this: So when the girlfriend […]
