In the article “Library of recorded Chinese poems” I said that I kinda stutter when I speak Chinese, it isn’t a major problem but still annoying. The cause of this is because I don’t speak Chinese all that much. For the same reason, I’m also not very good at explaining stuff efficiently. This is normal […]
