and now you did too, oops

i can, because i got more stars than you (look below your avatar for the stars).

anyway i prefer a girl with english educated style of thinking, so even if she is from chinese ed, its still ok. english also must be alright wan la...not just thinking english style only.

Why not have 1 gf who is good at both languages ? lol

Because the question of this thread is not about languages. its about going to english school or chinese school.

Dont worry stephen7177 i got this guy under control.

A girl who is articulate, wins

i'd prefer a mixed-ed gf... yeah!

In that case, you can't beat dollfie, who comes with many points of articulation! And she'll never say no!

lol.... ya.... a gf of ch ed and eng ed is not a bad choice.

English ed > Chinese Ed. period. altho if a girl did primary skool in chinese ed then went for secondary skool in english ed, that'd be pretty ok too.

i'm from chinese primary school and went for secondary school in eng. ed but there're still rooms for me improve

hello there, i'm a chinese ed myself and i have always wanted to be in a english speaking environment. sadly, my parents had a different thought, they put me into a chinese school and they didn't even bother to ask for my opinion (who would listen to kids huh). luckily all this time i expose myself to english movies, radio stations, musics, newspapers and more movies. so it's fair for me to say that i have a decent knowledge of english and there's still room for improvement when it comes to speaking fluent english.

back to the main topic, i fancy english ed/ hybrid girls more. reason: just the way they are.

oh...

you're sort of decisive person don't you? So how many years have you spent to brush up your english? I can see your english writing is pretty good.

for as long as i can possibly remember . i believe decent is the proper word to use, there are lots of forumers here who possess MUCH powderful England than me, like you.

No i'm not, I have rooms to improve.

But thanks for your compliments.

Still, since when you started your 'self-taught' english lessons?
I started when i was in FORM 4

But the question is whether the mixed-ed gf will like you or not.

YEAHHHHHHHHH *CSI-miami style*

probably when i was 15/16.. the desire to improve was stronger than ever but still.. i was in a chinese high school. sure there were some who speak English but Mandarin was the most widely used language in chinese schools (everyone knows that). for this reason my level of speaking in English remained sucky until i got to college. you know presentations and all that.. they tend to have a way of bringing out the best in you and since then and only then, it started to get better.

haha true. the question remains huh.

for me, eng ed girls are more confident compared to chinese ed gals, the way they carry and express themselves..

I see, it seems you went through the hard times.

I didn't go anywhere better than you. It's just a coincident that my english teacher was a church-goer and having english services, I asked her to bring me there. I was in FORM 4 that time. I was so lost, being all alone, no friends, no one knew me and most importantly, I didn't get what the pastor was preaching, not at all... Anyhow, I told myself to be bold and more outspoken, mingled around with the members there, every moment they talked to me was the precious chance I trained up myself. In the mean, ya, as what you did, read lots of english books, movies, news (although didn't understand at all ), sometimes I looked out the dictionaries for over 20 vocabs in a single page of the novel

Well, I have much to go, I know. All the best to you.

the above is so right!! and... i will try to minimise my oh, huhu, and la's from today onwards...

yay, english ed girls win! my bf and i always wonder why people need to post like that, and we have a good laugh whenever we see that.

now i start to wonder how do we define english ed and chinese ed.. cos most of us come from SK schools. i was from those missionary schools, so we speak english all the time and thus, i consider myself english ed! for those from the SK schools who speak chinese as their main language, they are chinese ed! my ex, SK-ed, wasnt good in english and it was tough cos trying to lower my standard to communicate with him.

those SK-chinese speaking girls really dress, talk and behave differently.. do any english ed gals dress anime-like? i think those usually wearing loud clothes are chinese ed too. we english ed gals call them 'yeh'

Being better in english dont make one an english ed. language is seldom the factor. its the attitude and general pandangan that separates english and chinese ed students. Exposure plays a part too in the form of media choices.
