你的中文很好! I feel I have more trouble speaking Chinese because the language comes in singular separated syllables, while you can just slide into the next word in English, if you know what I mean... Many assume I would have trouble public speaking, but actually it's the opposite. My brain seems to know when I am in front of lots of people (and to not wanting me to mess up BIG), so I barely stutter when I'm presenting. My profession requires me to do a lot of presentation, so it doesn't intimidate me anymore, I own the stage pretty good I think. Oh, I remember when I had to take an oral exam, I messed up BAD. The guy who tested me just gave me this really sympathetic look, I started crying right after I walked out of the room. He gave me more than a passing grade, which I am super grateful.
