Oh yeah, baby. Remember the Chinese people talking in old movies? Smile, nod, nod smile? That’s me all right. One of the things I loved about actually speaking Chinese and Japanese?

lol…..i think my ears have dyslexia:-) I'm not deaf or even hearing impaired ( well, I think not ) but so often, I "hear" words incorrectly or turned around. It is easier for me to communicate via the written word as opposed to telephone. So your captions made me laugh…..I could see my self in some of them.
