    ^ Well that's still pretty good, to be able to read newspapers and magazines :D I wish I could do that, working towards it though >.<

    I think the average Chinese (as in people living in China and where Chinese is language of instruction) can only manage to read newspapers and magazines, only a small percentage of people can actually manage beyond that (ie. write compositions and papers) because education is not availble to all.

    I can read and write a lot...I´m self-taught...We had a really bad teacher so I taught myself by watching more movies/films and listen to a lot of music and look at the lyrics etc. It has been a bit hard but it went well...It´s better to do this than having lessons from that teacher :D At least I can read, speak and write hehe :)
