yes, mandarin. theyre native plus we go to china every year which really helps. i also go to chinese school, but it kinda doesnt help cause its so boring and we all talk in english to each other.

when people say fluently, does that mean that they really know the complicated words? cause i dont sound foreign but i can speak relatively simple words.
