Ignore Foreign Languages

posted Tuesday, 29 January 2008

They love their red banners round here. As I've mentioned before, everywhere you go you can see long thin red banners full of propaganda and other nonsense. No one notices them any more. If they ever did. But this one caught my eye.

Study Foreign Languages, Speak Foreign Languages, Use Foreign Languages

It was on display in a local higher education college and reads “Study Foreign Languages, Speak Foreign Languages, Use Foreign Languages”

What language is it in? Duh!

That is as dumb as, a sign that says "don't read this"

Well the banner is meant for the Chinese who don't speak any other languages not foreigners, though it is pretty ironic.

"the banner is meant for the Chinese who don't speak any other languages"

No. The banner is meant for the students of the college who all have compulsory foreign language lessons.

well liuzhou

it wasn't so funny anyway. You are just making fun of the Chinese. It was a sensible sign and you choose to make fun of it. Red is the lucky color for the Chinese.

Grow up!

Most of my Chinese friends think it is ridiculous, too.
