[quote=CHYNAGYRL,242465]When I was growing up in Canada, my parents made me learn Chinese. Wow. That was a painful experience. In Canada, about 10% of school kids have to already learn a second language (French) and then my parents made me learn Mandarin too. They taught me how to write the classical characters. I was studying Chinese while my friends were playing outside :-O On one hand I'm less of a banana than most here, but on the other hand I can try as I want to fit into a Western country, but never will completely because of my upbringing. Fortunately, about 42% of people from Toronto speak another language at home, (many are bilingual or trilingual) so they have the same story as mine.[/quote]
