I think it’s going to be harder to get around China with no Chinese than C thinks. I’ve started trying to learn it on Duolingo but so far all I can say is ‘I am American’ which I’m not and ‘I speak English’, which I can just say in English. I’ve also got ‘I am a teacher’, ‘I am a lawyer’ and ‘I am a doctor’. I can’t even really say them that well, I can read them which I could do before Duolingo because they are really similar to Japanese. 我是美国人.我说英文.
