You know even though I speak German, moving there to work was a different animal. The business version of a language is almost like another language itself. But boy living there and needing to do everything in German gave me a tremendously huge respect for all the people I work with that are doing so here. It's really hard.I have been learning but slowly. I speak pretty good Chinese at the bar, but other than that more basic level. I can say a lot of single words and some basic sentences, but more than that I struggle. I traveled a lot with a translator or my girlfriend so I wasnt forced to talk as much early. Plus a lot of areas I lived in didnt speak Mandarin but their own local dialect.
