[quote=HERBEAT,380180]Bob, thank you for trying to help me with my English. As I said, I'm really very grateful to you. And any help is welcome and will always be. If you want any help in Chinese, I would like to help you since my Chinese is ok^-^

By the way, there were lots of embarrassment in the past, one recently in fact. When the Diamond Princess arrived, I was a guide for the guests. I don't know why but that day when I said years, I kept saying something like one thousand nine hundred and thirty... I knew how to say it more than ten years ago but still made the stupid mistake.

Another day when I had dinner with some of my English speaking friends, I tried to explain a dish on the table. Now I know it's Chinese yam but I forgot the word. So I tried to explain it like this... It contains lots of nutrients the same as tomato. It should be starch in potato but without thinking, I kept repeating tomato. All the friends from England, Canada, Sweden and America spent almost ten minutes to think the nutrition contains in tomato and they even gave the answer "seeds". After another ten minutes when we ate it, a Canadian asked, "hey, Yolanda, did you mean potao?" I told him that even from the very beginning I told all of you that it's potato. But they almost shouted "no, you kept repeating tomato all the time" at the same moment... That's embarrassing, VERY...

So once again, any correcting would be welcome. And thank you very much for helping^-^[/quote]
