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.

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.

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.

we all had our hard times but i'm glad that we made it through the storm. i do believe that family upbringing and the environment play a vital role in building up good English. my family and most of my friends don't speak English. thus, i did not have the privilege to experience both.

when opportunity does not present itself, just take the initiative, reach out and grab it. i got acquainted with a few English ed friends and always tried to speak to them whenever possible. and remember, embarrassment comes hand in hand with improvement , you can never single it out (at least not for my case) and as far as improvement is concerned, i'm just like you, still have a loooong way to go.

oopss.. think i'm straying off topic, past experiences have nothing to do with the topic . well, all the best to you too.
and you are a christian i presume? i am one too nice meeting you my fellow believer.
