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.
