Agreed. It’s not only specific to Chinese, however. I think it’s absolutely unthinking when someone faults a non-native speaker for mangling words/grammar or having an accent. I’m sure the native Mandarin speaker has an accent in any other second, third, fourth language too.

@ggreen: Wow, what a vapid comment, the bitchy native speaker shows no appreciation to someone learning one of the hardest second languages to master.

I showed this to a native mandarin speaker, his comment was:” What a vapid story, the queeny news reader learned from Berlitz or Rosetta Stone DIY”.

That was beautiful, until the last sentence. “Their infalible sense of style makes sure that their brother or sister shoots to the top.”

*sigh*.

Please, no jokes about Daniel O’Donnell and Chris Arnold failing in their family roles.

@Cassy:

Yes, you’re correct. This is Standard Chinese (Mandarin), not Japanese.

This is not Japanese. I think it’s Chinese Mandarin, but I could be wrong.
