[quote=GUEST26148,304033]For someone try to claim chinese is easy to speak, most foreign speakers talk like a guide school kids and native chinese are just too polite to point them out since most of didn't expect them to speak chinese at all. If a ordinary chinese speak like them, he will be considered a mentally retarded person. To test that you can really speak chinese, try to carry out a coversation with ordinary people about some abstract topics like politics and religions, For reading and writing chinese, pickup a newspaper and try to read it, if you can understand it, your reading level is about 6-7 grade level. Pickup a novel(>600 pages), if you can read it, you can claim that you have mastered ordinary level chinese. But you properly need another decades or so to learn the old classic chinese, which is much more condensed and profound. Most westerner i knew cannot read or write about 4-5 grade level after staying in hongkong for over ten to twenty year.[/quote]
