my friend sent me this conversation.

My friend is living in Beijing right now and he sent me this conversation he was having with a local girl about learning English/Chinese... It is quite possibly the funniest thing I've seen all week. (He's the "T")

[18:04] fiul:
oh,you exchange with others
[18:06] fiul: this good for you
[18:06] T: what is good?
[18:07] fiul: oral exchanges with others often
[18:08] T: oh, i don't do it very often
[18:08] T: i would like to
[18:08] T: but sometimes it's hard because i spend a lot of time at work
[18:08] T: how about you?
[18:09] fiul: but ,your colleagues say the english
[18:10] fiul: my mother tongue is putonghua
[18:10] T: yes, do you do oral exchanges often?
