Stop saying ni hao ma #4 greetings Chinese people don't use#speak like native - YouTube
NOTHING but been thinking about some of my Chinese lessons at the U of MN back around 1990 or 1991.
How strange our language much sound especially when spoken by someone who learned phrases like this at some University or another.
I dabbled in several languages while at the U of MN-- German, Dutch, Russian, Japanese and Chinese. And took two semesters of Spanish at the College of San Mateo in San Mateo, CA. I had had German and French at the University of Nevada, Reno.
