[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's no way somebody who started taking a Chinese language class in high school is mistaken for a native speaker. Complete baloney![/quote] The posted did say that he looks 100% native (whatever that means)-maybe that is what is throwing them off.[/quote] meant to type "100% Chinese"[/quote] Doubt it. It's impossible to tell if someone is Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc. just by looking at them. I can't and I'm Asian. My guess is people are being polite. I have friends who learned Mandarin in high school and college who work in Asia. While they are bilingual in Mandarin (and get told all the time how "great" their Mandarin is), they do not sound like native speakers. Chinese people have much lower expectations for what constitutes "perfect" Mandarin for non-Chinese.[/quote]
