My hats off to anyone (non-native) who can speak fluent Mandarin as to my ears it is an ugly and hard language... In a discussion they always sound like they are pissed until they break out laughing !
I had a Chinese girlfriend who spoke German, French, Cantonese, Mandarin, and English better than me at times... Smartest person I have ever known especially when it came to math done in her head. She had an abacus she used mentally in her brain and it worked as she could and would point out errors people made even with their calculators.. She was fun come tax season !!!
