The first thing to go when forgetting Chinese

[Flickserve]

Doing a ten minute presentation medical talk is far easier if you prepare for it rather than trying to ad lib your way through it. 
 

Presentation or doing a talk is a skill to be practiced. I used to be semi bad at presenting in English. That was until I realised it was skill you can train. One will always have certain phrases that one might trip up on during the presentation. These need to be identified and drilled by practice before your actual presentation. 
 

Actually, it’s no different to when we learn to speak initially but a person gets comfortable in their own deficiencies, especially when there is no feedback in daily life and the tolerances are much higher. 
 

At formal presentations and toastmasters, the requirements are much higher. For many people, that’s when they realise they can buck up their game a lot more even if they were fluent beforehand.

Hey ABC, what's the latest with your language exchanges?

Thanks for the gentle reminder, @NinjaTurtle. Appreciate it. I've been out of town helping care for a sick relative. Early next week things should be back to normal.
