nah but I feel like conversationally native isn’t the same as actual native speakers like my parents that have read CLASSICAL Chinese lit. it’s like when we read Shakespeare or pride and prejudice in US high school.

我也是个福建ABC, 然后就是小时候就是老看 综艺节目的 多听多看里面的字母 然后就是在Youtube 看的 之后就是两国语言就通 大学期间 我和别人说 我是ABC 他们就看不出来我是ABC 因为我的中文太流利了 只能说多练练 然后有心去学就可以了👍🏻👍🏻

some other advice from an abc (1) swipe on douyin/xhs when you’re bored/tired (2) chinese standup comedy/dating shows are v useful for new vocab (3) talk in chinese every opportunity you get + find new opportunities to use chinese (basically same advice as op)

I prefer people from the south keep some southern flavor while speaking standard mandarin. Your mandarin is perfect, can’t even tell you’re from Guangdong.

let me pose a question as a cantonese ABC who is older at 40. what's your reason for learning? is it work? as an ABC I've not connected with mandarin Chinese culture, so didn't have the drive to do this. also maybe older, I've experienced elitism/racism because I'm not "Chinese" enough so further bringing me away from learning it.

Can vouch for the efficacy of making friends with international students and dating someone Chinese and being immersed in the cultural environment - now we are married🥰 i found my person for life and get to keep learning for the rest of my life

Nice! I’m also a Canto speaking ABC who learned Mandarin through variety shows. Unfortunately, I don’t really have anyone around to practice with so my speaking skills are only average but I am still proud that I went from nothing to completely understanding Mandarin (and being able to read written Simplified Chinese).

看到你我对自己孩子的中文又有信心了!我觉得很多华裔不会说中文和环境还有家庭也有关系,我看到很多出生在多语言家庭的人,熟练的掌握着多门语言,但有的华裔只会英文。

Never seen someone with such a similar background as me.. except im CBC (Canadian), fully kaiping, fluent in canto and mando (tho yours is better) and married into a guangzhou family to get immersed into the culture and language. You’re 100% right, that’s the way to do it.
