Can you understand when Chinese speak English?

Sure.
It's more difficult to me to understand when some Americans speak English!

If you're trying to poke fun at Chinese people, you should start by using good grammar yourself.

Then you're not listening carefully nor were you paying attention. That's not good. You also sound discriminating. A lot of foreigners have difficulties in pronouncing English and not just Chinese. I'm not a Chinese but I think you're a really bad person. Give people a chance. People do not respect you if you don't respect them.

Learn to speak chinese you lazy boy

I can.

yes and i think its cute

only when they say "beef flied lice"

SUM TING WONG??



YES I CAN UNDERSTAND THEM

sometimes.....at the chinese restuarant in my town...no..i just smile and nod! lol

Yes

It depends really. Some of them have this reallyreally strong American accent, which they prolly just picked up from teevee.

yeah i can

Yes I can.

Not a problem. I work with people from different countries and they do quite well with their english.

I'm sorry but what did you say?? lol...

yeah, better than british speak chinese...

Yes, when I ask how much something is and I get ancient Chinese secret, but I sell to you for 2 dolla'. Just kidding, actually I do understand Chinese people and they are nice. :)

well too bad then

Hue, wah hwe shwa eediarr Potonghwa, kshu shu de pooHow. Wah shu MagwaRyan. Wah po shu JoongwaRyan.

Can you understand that? If you can, then you're okay.
It says, "Yes, I speak a little Mandarin, but I don't speak very well. I am American. I am not Chinese."

What you want to say them after that is: Nee hwe shwa Yingwa ma?
Which means, "Do you speak English?" This is probably more important for you to learn. The first part was me answering your question.

Before anybody gives me any crap about this, it IS Mandarin, and if you DON'T speak Mandarin shut your pie-hole about it.

you want to hearken to more desirable chinese accents. As you hear, you receives used to it. Even listening to chinese would help you construct a filter out. I used to loaf round with ESL youthful ones who'd talk different languages and that i does not comprehend a difficulty, yet I later got here upon that i might want to take care of maximum unfamiliar accents a lot more desirable.

Well then why don't you try harder???? LOL!
I'm Chinese, when I speak to strangers on the phone they have no idea that I'm Chinese until they meet me (they often get a shock and then can't speak English themselves!) because I do not have an accent.

i think i can understand them better when they speak chinese

It depends, if the person just has a very heavy accent then it can be hard to understand, but that's with anyone who speaks another language or even a person from a southern state can be a bit difficult to understand if the accent is heavy. One thing I noticed is that after awhile a being around a person with a heavy accent, you start to get used to their speach and become easier to understand when speaking.

yeah, i can. can normal people understand people on crack? of course!

Not just Chinese. On the flip side, we of English cause fits of laughter in Asia.

Not really- I try really hard to understand them though.

I dont have a lot of difficulty b/c im nigerian and have to listen to people with accents all the time so its easier for me to interpret what another person with an accent is saying.
