And the most interesting thing is, Tiao Tiao asked the Danes why they speak English so well. Did you learn it when you were young? They said no, you only started learning it when you were in junior high school in China, and the things you learned were not much different from those of Chinese children. They were all about tenses, sentence structures and so on. So why? How can you say it is so good? Many of them actually told me that because their TVs, movies, etc., always use subtitles instead of dubbing, so they started to cultivate this idea at a very young age. It still makes sense.
