Why is it that Asians who grow up here hardly ever speaking their parents language
and
Asians born overseas speak it all the fucking time, so much that only other Asians want to socialise with them?
What causes this difference in attitude and behaviour?
fuck off with your stupid questions, now whos the slut
Are you serious about having to ask this?
East asian languages are too hard to learn so diaspora don't bother. The other asians already spent their youth learning thousands of chopstick symbols and baby noises so they figure they might as well use it.
Yes.
Education in schools and having no reason to use native language whatsoever.
>chopstick symbols and baby noises
topkek
A bit rudely worded, but this is basically the right answer.
Most people aren't dedicated or intelligent enough to learn an Asian language if you don't use it in daily life and are constantly exposed to it from a very young age.
>Education in schools
Asians who come here are often educated.
> no reason to use native language whatsoever.
So just like all the FOBs that come here and hardly ever speak english?
Asians born here know how to speak an Asian language but usually only speak it when they have to explain something to an old relative and get embarrassed about speaking the language.
I do
Murican born here
Because it is a hard language to learn if you never learned it in primary school
I understand most cantonese but i am not good at articulating it and I cannot read it at all
Only way I would learn it would be to go to school for it or learn it like any other languages by studying
I'm not sure why you are so confused onto why native born foreigners knows the native language instead of a foreign language
Kids are made to feel as if being bilingual is a bad thing, especially if they are Chinese. Part of the whole "You're in Australia, fucken speak English" mentality.
Asian kids born and raised abroad haven't grown up with that sort of cultural pressure so they can't relate to it and, more importantly, don't feel as though they shouldn't be using anything but English.
That differs from person to person and on the amount of generations that were born in your country.
Most Asians I know descend from Chinese who lived in Indonesia. After two or three generations there is hardly any of those Chinese who still know any Chinese language.
The only Japanese person I know who was born here speaks the language fluently, but doesn't know many kanji.
simple rice farmers in God forsaken rural China learn that bunk, clearly it's not one requiring massive intelligence

she can use those chopsticks on my dick
is you dick a size of rice?
It's a lot easier if you're surrounded by the language. It takes less intelligent people a great lot of time to learn characters, and they often don't know many of them.
>Part of the whole "You're in Australia, fucken speak English" mentality.
But why doesn't this effect the FOBs?
>But why doesn't this effect the FOBs?
Because they have a hard time speaking English well
Even the ones who do speak english well always speak their native language.
Just look at filipinos.
Are you asking why those who haven't grow up within a culture aren't effected by it, or am I missing something?
are they speaking flip to you or their own fellows?
Also for some reason Filipino guys tend to realise they piss people off and isolate themselves when they speak their native language all the time but Filipino women can't get their head around the idea.
Which sees funny because women tend to have better social skills than men.
Sometimes it may seem they speak the language well, but it still takes them a lot of concentration and makes them tired fast.
That;s just bullshit that they try say when they have offended someone.
