Pokarface Posted November 23, 2015 at 01:28 PM Author Report Posted November 23, 2015 at 01:28 PM I'll take back my comment about "if I could stay in China/Taiwan, I'll sound like one of them." Mainly because I've met many professors whose accent never changed (English) while having living in the U.S. for so many years plus my Chinese friends/coworkers accent hasn't changed as well. It seems that after teenage years, a strict focus on language learning has to be conscious in order to get a better pronunciation and reduce accent. My friend married a Chinese girl from Suzhou with impeccable English, but she studied English at University (in China). I have a feeling that had she studied engineering or business like my friends from Mainland China did, her English wouldn't be as good, but that's just a theory. Quote
Pokarface Posted November 23, 2015 at 01:33 PM Author Report Posted November 23, 2015 at 01:33 PM I started thinking of another project. I was thinking if teaching English on Twitch.tv would be possible I could do a couple of sessions for FREE with the only condition that my students must speak a language that I've learned: English, Spanish, 中文, Portuguese, or Esperanto. and they must be OK with me streaming our lesson to whoever shows up on Twitch. Sounds like a novelty. I'll see if I have time to do a session soon. Quote
