I conducted a research and the 80% passerby followed the reactions. Is the barrage of sighs and scowls a signal of recognition than humiliation? And you just simply oblivious to all these of signals and brazen it out.

If you allege that’s called freedom, then what about quarrel, brawl, fighting, peeing in public, which are absolutely not lawbreaking manners and therefore should also be free by your logic, while I define it as bloody discourtesy, rudeness, disrespect and with your word „arrogance" in my world. $ _# G8 U5 j( p5 y ( A, w [9 k V3 T5 A7 c3 [7 bI am in quite belief you catch few what I mean or we talk different languages. , o% z) J! {/ M# o1 V[ 本帖最后由 perl 于 16.7.2008 19:06 编辑 ]

@perl . K7 I8 F, U5 k' _+ Ryour effort has been noted! i appreciated for that! 6 D. p2 T' S; r6 b) x D since last time discussing, about 2 weeks ago, i drafted a request Email to Student Union's chef about activity place for English Corner in TUM. Unfortunately, so far so quiet. Maybe keep silence is one kind of refusing response, which makes us both uncomfortable, actually. & I' s: i" n: I! K- vhopefully that a positive response will be received from Munich Student Union soon!! meanwhile, a new possible place for running english corner has been issued. Ask LZ for more details of corner in this weekend. have a nice night!

Hey, I'm so glad you still remember me! I'm just doing great. Thank you! I don't know when I can go to Munich again. But I would really love to sometime. Hey, Perl, I think the point you were trying to make before was, we shouldn't speak out loud in public because we were not as good as those native speakers......which could lead to the conclusion that only native speakers are allowed to speak their language out loud.....If my interpretation is wrong, please try to explain the whole native speaker thing you mentioned before. About the research you conducted...what the hack was that! I 'll tell you what. If I meet a foreigner in China, who's really making effort fo practicing and improving his Chinese, not at all will I feel uncomfortable listening to him, or give him a cold look.....I think I'll talk to him instead, and tell him to speak more and louder..... And by the bye, reading your messages is really an unpleasant thing to do. I had to use the dictionary all the time....Sorry, but I'm not a native speaker after all. But I'm a native speaker of Chinese. So if you want, I can talk in that with you, loud and clear, I promise!

4 H$ K" k$ w# a( ?1 w* q- d4 U 8 c' N3 @; c6 ~# a0 WDid I mention somewhere or somehow that "we shouldn't speak out loud in public because we were not as good as those native speakers". For God's sake!! I mean the people couldn't keep their voice down maybe because they are not native speakers. We all have kind of feeling that one couldn't express oneself very well, if he or she can't command the language, say he or she is a foreign speaker, which I assume the noises derived from. I am sorry that I should have shortened my sentences to make everybody see. On the other side it reminds me the subject a few weeks ago "Quantity or Quality". Actually I should have thought you were excellent in the language, as remembered you speak in slight accent, contrastive intonation and correct phrasing. Actually I wish I would have given you a “warmer” welcome in response to your coming bake. , D$ f0 f& j( j2 D5 j ^ About the point weather one should practice louder? That should not be an issue at all, because that's too obvious and also not the point we are discussing, I suppose. That's defiantly a good measure to improve languages. If you really think it is necessary to put it on the table, I have to correct the point into „talk louder out of your territory". Just like if one is allowed at all to pick his noses, scratching themselves in intimacy or screaming rows with your partner? These are absolutely legal, and I assume everybody did it in privacy of the home. If you dare to perform all of that in public, I have to say, you must be a bold, creative and masculine creature. If you enjoy public presenting of the manners, let me see...... that's would be new topic. 7 b; C8 S3 V+ a/ Y* q6 a/ p* y[ 本帖最后由 perl 于 18.7.2008 14:01 编辑 ]
