[quote=GRIZ326,244720]My girlfriend sent me to my old English grammar book yesterday. It was over the use of pronouns. My gal was telling me about her elder brother and kept referring to her brother as SHE. ...so I wrote her a little email about he-him-his/she-her-hers... Chinese does not have gender-based pronouns like English, I guess. It must be a difficult concept to grasp if you've grown up without common gender references. Watching her work so hard to learn English is interesting. She cannot make some of the sounds of English - just as I cannot make some of the sounds in Chinese. ...at least we are in it together! In this morning's call we worked on the ts sound in cats. I wish I knew enough Chinese to tell her that it is just like the sound in...this or that character.[/quote]
