[交流] Do you still remember the first time when you talk to a foreigner

Folks, do you still remember the first time when you talk to a foreigner? How about the most impressive experience?

The first foreigner I spoke to is a blond who interviewed me at that time. When I was a senior student in the college, I was looking for some part time job opportunities. Fortunately, I noticed an advertisement of recruiting teaching assistant for an English education agency. After three days, I had a brief on-site interview and was sent to the interviewee’s office where I spoke English more than 3 minutes without any preparation first time. The young female interviewee just kept asking questions and marking something even without looking at me.  I only remember the last question, “Do you have a girl friend?”. I said “no”. She was surprised, turned up the head with a doubtful look. I was a mentally and physically healthy male, but I didn’t have the girl friend. Maybe it is not understandable somehow, but it’s true.

The most impressive experience happened in the train when I was traveling from Beijing to Shenzhen several years ago. A group of foreign boys and girls were close to me quietly. I thought it was a good chance to practice my English, which turned out to be a bad idea.  “How are you doing? Where are you from? My name is myIDname.” I talked to a boy. He stared at me for couple of seconds and said “你好,我来自俄罗斯,只会说俄语和部分中文”. Yes, in Chinese.  How embarrassed! Then we just had a quick conversation in Chinese, which was actually a good chance for him to practice his Chinese!!! The lesson I learn from this is that before talking to a foreigner, figure out what language you are going to use. To be safe, starting with Chinese might be a good idea.

Looking forward to your story and experience.

My frist foreigner friend is my PhD techer's friend. She is an Austrilian woman, she is very nice and her oral English is perfect.

haha, a native speaker's oral English should be absolutely perfect. Do you like the Australian accent? It sounds a little bit weird for me.
