How long have you been learning English?
Since I was born...thanks to my awesome mother..XD
What does English mean to you? What do you like about it?
It represents half of my life, with the other half being Mandarin Chinese...
I feel priviledged in being able to communicate with others in English,
and to sometimes even dream in English. But still, compared to the average
American my English isn't good at all...and I still try to strive and look
for more ways to improve my English skill every day.
Any other information about yourself?
I've been away from Taiwan mostly for about 10 years, I left Taipei for the
US at the age of 14, and I miss every bit of it.
I love Taiwan, and will plan to return to Taiwan for some time after my
graduation this Summer, very looking foward to it...
I'm really glad to have found this board, finally somewhere on PTT where I
can communicate with Taiwanese people in English :D
