I speak Mandarin and can read and write a little. I took a few classes at Harvard to get better in my reading and writing skills.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Until the age of five, my parents spoke to me in Chinese or a combination of Chinese and English, but they didn't force me to speak Mandarin. In retrospect, this was sad, because they believed that my chance of doing well in America hinged on my fluency in English. Later, as an adult, I wanted to learn Chinese.
