People at home keep asking me, "Is it hard to learn Chinese? Why have you learned it so well?" Well,
there's one thing that makes Chinese easy to learn: there are so many people to talk to. You've probably
heard that it's the most spoken language. Today it's also one of the most written languages online. And
with so many Chinese people interested in learning English, it couldn't be easier to find a friend for language
learning. You just have to know where to look for them.
The really good place to look for them is QQ. QQ has the same status (地位) in China as AIM (AOL
Instant Messenger) does in the US. It is reported that at any moment, up to 9,000,000 people are using
QQ. They're at work, or in a web café (网吧), or at home, and the information of the users can be found.
If you sign on with your address set to"abroad", you'll soon find that many thousands of them are interested
in speaking to you! This is a great way for you to learn Chinese, and for them to learn English. I think that
it's a very interesting way of cultural contact (文化交流), too, for ordinary people from around the world
to be able to have one-on-one contact.
