Thank you for this. My parents didn't choose to teach my brother and I Chinese to increase our chances of doing well in tests at school. So, now, when I visit the rest of my family - I can only catch bits and pieces of the conversation. I can't speak directly to my grandparents; my parents have to pause and think about how to translate and compress a fast flowing conversation. I joke to other people that I know scoldings in Chinese.
