Yesterday, I had another conversation in Chinese with a stranger. I was waiting for a friend at a bus stop in Daxi. A woman asked me the usual things: what I do here (wait for a friend), what I study (computer science), how long I’ve been here (I said, “three months”, which is not true, but I failed to say “three weeks”). She also told me that she is trying to learn English and showed me her vocabulary book. Though I didn’t understand everything and also had to apply context interpretation, I think I managed to answer things that made sense (even though they may not have been factually correct), and she also understood my horrible pronounciation.
