Chinglish

Since I’ve been learning Chinese for the past week and a half I’ve noticed how I’ve been using more and more Chinese words in my daily vocabulary. This is good because I’m actually using Chinese words for practice and to help me memorize them, but its bad because sometimes people don’t know what I’m talking about. I’m using Chinglish a mix of English and Chinese. I use it in restaurants, taxi’s, or to my flatmate’s friends. I can see how weird it can sound if you only know Chinese or only know English. These people probably think I’m crazy, but I think most know I’m just practicing my Chinese words. Wo bu zhidao, I mean I don’t know, but I do think its helping me pick up my Chinese faster. So just deal with it. 🙂
