The most difficult thing about writing in Chinese is that I have "patches" in my vocab so it's difficult to string entire sentences, especially on difficult subjects like politics. Yet, it's a mystery that I comprehend much more than I can speak/write.
It's like the two brain spheres are not connected. (prob sound neurological reasons for this)
So the only way to bridge this gap is to speak and write more.
I try to translate these headlines as best I can, but it takes a lot of concentration. It’s pure joy to mumble out a translation and then realise you’ve just said the words “slutty chef” out loud without realising
