I get offended when my mom thinks I can't read Chinese. Most of the time, it's true though, because the characters are complicated/hard?? So I guess I can't blame her... But this time, it was super easy words, from like 2nd or 3rd grade!
And sometimes I feel bad for mainlanders, who assume I speak Chinese. I mean, I do, somewhat, but at the same time, I don't really... What do you guys do? And how would you rate your level of Chinese proficiency? I rate myself as a 3rd grader.
Life struggles of a 'Chinese born overseas,' aka an American-Born Chinese. Learn little things about Chinese culture and language from the experts, my mom and sometimes my dad!
*I try my best to translate Chinese, but feel free to jump in with what you think is correct!
