Mark Zuckerberg won over many Chinese fans when he met them and spoke to
them in Mandarin while in China. They enjoyed his casual style and
personal snippets like when he asked his Chinese wife why was his
Mandarin listening ability was so bad.
His wife, 'You're also bad at listening in English'.
My answer would be, 'You are American'. The Americans have very serious
problem listening to the Chinese even when the Chinese speaks in
English.

Never mind lah, since Mark Zuckerberg is so rich.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the point(WP) of listening ability very good in whatever language but being very poor, u tell me lah?
I think that is a stupid question in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI think all these hoo haa about a white guy speaking a bit of bad chinese is really sad. There are hundreds of thousands of Asian execs who speak good English but no one writes about them... Instead what Asians face is white guy native English speakers criticising non stop about how our english is not to the standard of the native english speakers. This hypocrisy is pathetic
ReplyDeleteIt was meant to be humour in a moment like that. Don't take it seriously.
ReplyDeleteYes we should be proud of Mark who was trying to speak to his mother in law in Mandarin.
PS. Lately I have noticed quite a number of my postings with blatant typo or grammatical errors that were too obvious to miss. I must be getting old or suffering from dyslexia.
