本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Most Chinese, especially first generation Chinese, are trapped in this powerful language.

If I spend more time using Chinese, I have less time for English.

If I don't have enough time for English, I'm not able to use it well.

If I cannot use English well, how can I communicate well with other people in this society?

If I cannot communicate well, how can I excel?

On the other side, there are many languages in India. None of them is influential enough to be popular throughout India. Therefore, even inside India, people may have to use English to communicate.

I personally have seen scenarios like this many times: In a store, an Indian parent talks in English with more or less Indian accent, to the kids. I haven't seen any like this with Chinese parents. They always talk to the kids in Chinese, no matter how young the kids are. This shows that Indians are more comfortable using English.

Rolia created a separate forum purely in English. It's for people who are willing to practice English. I believe that it will help us to succeed in this society.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
