[@demitakaye1773]

100% agree. Environment and pressure is most important. Before coming to China, I couldn't even say numbers. Even in my current city, I didn't learn a lot because I had friends and co-workers to translate for me. I learned the fundamentals of Chinese when I traveled alone to Xiamen island. I was forced to communicate. In that one week, I learned more than the 2 months in my current city.

[@chunkytoad2361]

We Chinese have heard of "English corner" ever since primary school. I really hope westerners can at least learn an oriental language like Chinese or Japanese from young and be a bilingual, because language doesn't serve as a tool only, but also implants an aspect of thinking/logic. Vise versa,It's also important for Chinese/Japanese to pick up a western language like English or French.

[@Mich-hb3rr]

i agree !!! ( im aus white).

[@BlondieinChina]

In Australia we don't have any neighbouring countries (we are an island) so there isn't as much pressure to learn another language. I think it's a great thing to learn a language, a great way to understand more about another culture

That meetup looked like fun and it’s such a great idea to stay on top of the language you are learning, or to keep it fresh and not lose what you’ve already learned. I grew up speaking it but never developed a larger vocabulary despite many years of Chinese school. Once my mom stopped sending us, I quickly forgot how to read and write all that I learned. I have no problem with pronunciation, just need to build vocabulary so I’ve been watching a lot of KZbinrs that speak Chinese. 😁
