The city is disorientating, the people unfriendly, the language a muddle of dominant personal pronouns and moody verbs. But with increasing fluency in English surviving turns to living.

And they say that the best way to learn a language is to fall in love with a native speaker...Selected from the book: A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers by Xiaolu Guo. VINTAGE MINIS: GREAT MINDS. BIG IDEAS.
