		<description><![CDATA[Tweet (This is a &#8220;Spanish Friday&#8221; post. Here is the English version, according to the Fish) Tracy en Latinaish.com ha tenido una buena idea: &#8220;Spanish Friday&#8220;. Así que voy a escribir esta entrada en español. Hoy Roxana decidió no enviar su hija a una escuela bilingüe, porque había algunos problemas. Es muy decepcionante para Roxana. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TweetThis morning I and my wife went to a Chinese café for breakfast. Somehow they offered free Chinese newspaper. I looked for the headline expecting some specular world event to unfold. To my disappointment, the headline read &#8220;華裔移民第二代 喜中西合璧婚宴&#8221; (2nd-generation Chinese prefer Chinese-Western fusion wedding banquets). It also showed the photo of a businessman who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TweetAfter more than a year of waiting, the data finally came out last week. Statistics Canada released the language-related statistics of the 2006 census. Here are the top 20 languages &#8220;spoken most often at home&#8221; in Toronto, my home town, and their corresponding head-counts and percentages: English &#8211; 2746480 (55.31%) Italian &#8211; 185760 (3.74%) Chinese, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TweetSince I have joined so many language exchange websites, I am quite used to receiving language exchange requests from time to time. Back in September, I received yet another one. But this time it was a bit unusual. First of all, she was a native French speaker (bilingual French/English to be exact) asking for a [...]]]></description>

From the other side of the line came a female voice: &#8220;The doctor&#8217;s office&#8230;&#8221; Both receptionists speak Cantonese. I usually speak to them in English when booking appointments. But today for some reason, I felt like speaking Cantonese. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TweetImagine someone threatens to sue you for pronouncing some words differently. This actually happened last month in Toronto. A group of Cantonese language enthusiasts held a press conference, complaining the news anchors of some Cantonese channels for adopting a pronunciation standard known as the ‘Correct Pronunciation’ (正音). They also started a petition letter: “As native [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TweetWe often choose a language to learn based on its usefulness. But how can we actually measure it? Last week, I was involved in a rather fierce discussion in a language forum. Someone was planning to move to Toronto and wanted to learn some Chinese. He was wondering which language he should pick, Mandarin or [...]]]></description>
