Very few expatriates in ZHAOQING by Shirley_Chen

What's your most embarrassing moment while learning Chinese? by Shirley_Chen
Wondering if you would like to share your most embarrassing moment while learning Chinese? =) Looking forward to your experience. And, do you think Chinese is one of the most difficult languages in the world?
