At Monterey Language Services, we are always searching for interesting tidbits to lift our spirits. Here is one good example.
Deborah Fallows has a Ph.D. in linguistics. She decided to immerse herself into Chinese culture by learning Chinese. In her new book, Dreaming in Chinese: Mandarin Lessons in Life, Love and Language, Fallows provides intriguing insights into how Chinese think and act as reflected in their language. We found a delightful interview she had with NPR in which she explains why Chinese talk to each other so bluntly.
