I have great motivation because I really like her, and she’s a great practice partner. Yesterday she asked me a question and I wanted to answer “it depends”. That sort of sentence fragment isn’t easy to look up, so I took my best guess and said “要看…” which literally is like “will depend…” It wasn’t the right way of saying what I wanted to say, but she got my intention right away, told me the right way to say it, and said my mistake was so cute.
I get it because frankly I find her mistakes in English super cute as well. Like she gets her Ls and Rs mixed up orally, which I already knew was a thing, but I didn’t realize Chinese people could mix them up in text as well. The other day she asked me via text if I’ve seen the movie “Purp Fiction” and my heart just melted a bit from cuteness.
Seems impressive indeed!
