Yeah I'm sure that life under the USSR was definitely better than the bullshit that came next. Albanians are living with similar headaches now, but lucky enough to live in a place that's largely inconsequential on the world stage.

Anyway I'm not here to debate the merits of your worldview or reasons for supporting the CPC. I was genuinely curious whether you worked at state media and whether we may know some folks in common. This is my first time in such an online community

Good luck with your Mandarin. I could never get the hang of it, but most of my friends seemed capable of basic conversation and they always told me how easy it is.

I definitely don't find it easy, but it is doable. The writing is the really hard part for me. If I actually did move to China, I want to be able to communicate with people fluently.

Most of the folks I know there who speak well never bother learning to read and write characters. I can't blame them. It's a huge commitment to learn a non-phonetic language. But it was funny to watch them be as clueless as me when we walk through a supermarket

I do know one guy who became so fluent that he earned their equivalent of a green card (almost unheard of).

Are you a Wechat user?

It seems doable, I can probably recognize around a thousand characters or so at this point, and using pinyin as input means I can skip learning how to write the characters which seems to be the hardest part. And I'm not on Wechat.

Damn that's impressive character vocabulary!

I mean it's just a matter of practice, I just spend half an hour a day practising using an app and stuff ends up sinking in eventually.
