[quote=APAULT,268164]It is often said that most young people know some English as they learn it at school. The last part is true! I teach first year (low level) English major uni students - most have never spoken with a foreigner before, and most have had minimal experience speaking English as it is not a testable part of their English course (just like French when I was a kid). Of course, more English is spoken at major tourist sites like the Great Wall. I speak almost no Chinese but I have travelled for almost 6 months in all, so it is quite possible.I believe it is important not to have tight schedules so you have time to find out what's around and which buses go from which bus stations. Make sure you have maps and can point to where you want to go and always ask at least three times. When you have a consistent answer, commit yourself! As you have travelled elsewhere you will know this stuff, you will just need time to adapt. Have fun.[/quote]
