Give up the fight to learn

Give up the fight to learn

There are three types of foreigner in China; those who visit to learn the language, those work here and pick it up, and those who fail to move beyond the basics.

I'm going to stereotype the expat population here a little, from my six years in the country, and say the third group is the largest. Unusually, I would also say this is the group that sticks around, year after year.

Following that group, in terms of size, are students, who mostly return home after two semesters of study.
