Describe a person who can use/speak a second language. Ok, this story is totally made for one of my foreign colleagues call Alex, a German.I met him at our Annual Party last year and he made a speech in that party, as a representative of our new staffs. of course, he made it in Chinese. He absolutely surprised me as he could speak Chinese fluently and communicate with us like a native speakers. His show impressed me so much that I regarded his as a language genius. After that, I got to know that, his second major in university was Modern Chinese and he told me that he started pretty much from scratch, and in the space of about only 2 years, he can now speak Chinese pretty good. It’s amazing he did that. I once asked him how he could manage to learn it so quickly. He said one of reasons was that he always took the opportunity to talk with his Chinese mates and he never afraid of making mistake. Anther reason, probably, I guess is that he also had strong curiosity for the Chinese, which I noticed once when I saw him reading a story written by the Chinese writer Mo Yan during the leisure time. Actually, It wasn’t something that he had been told to learn. It was simply out of his interest in Chinese that he choose to read it, and that made me realize why he had become such good at Chinese.
