Ha. My wife is Chinese, and I hope they never look at me as that guy. My Chinese is pretty awful, but I can't imagine ever being annoyed at the result of my own shortcomings.Especially after seeing so many family members, both male and female, marry Americans who at family gatherings look like they're drowning and often are annoyed because they are unfamiliar with the dynamic and are unused to being around people whose language they don't speak for long periods of time.
Oh, maybe it's not annoyance I'm talking about . . . maybe just trying to make sense of it all? Anyway, Filipinos tend to mix languages in everyday speech, so there are a lot of English words thrown in, enough that it can sometimes feel like one has enough to understand what's being said, though that may or may not be the case.
