Answer: Not only my English no good but my Chinese no good also. I don't beleive any one can say he is good in two languages. The reason is every language need some one life time study . Unless you got two lives, you won't be able good in more than one language. Is that the reason that we can't discuss language. I believe the effort of linguists is comparing each language and find out what is good what isn't, not just learning learning and learning. Su Cheng Zhong http://shopping.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
