Chinese is a difficult language to learn

Chinese is a difficult language to learn, foreigners often mispronounce typo misunderstanding. I did not master the correct Chinese pronunciation too many embarrassing experience.
        I remember when winter arrived in the dorm room was cold, I go to the store to buy a quilt. I asked the salesman: "You've cups (quilt)?" She said, of course, come up with a cup from the counter said: "OK?" It suddenly struck me, pronunciation wrong, but at that time, but I how also say no. I had said, "I want a cup (quilt), not the cup" side to side to make like shivering.

        Another time, I came to China, I feel the pillow is very hard to want to go to the store to buy a little soft. My salesman said: "Hello, I want to buy a needle (pillow)." She said, our stores do not sell needles. The instrument allows me confused. I clearly saw the shelves lying on a pile of pillows, her how to say no? I slowly repeated: "I want to buy a needle (pillow)." She answered slowly: "We do not have needles." To seeing themselves did not understand, I quickly said, pointing behind her: What is that? "she laughed:" Oh, that pillow, not a needle. "

        The most embarrassing thing I have encountered is a barber. One day, I went to the barber shop and told the barber: "I want to shear half an inch," said the barber, no problem. He let me sit down, start Barber. He cut the head, I fell asleep. Asleep asleep, was patted on my shoulder, and turned out to be a hairdresser. He said: "become, look in the mirror it." I look in the mirror shocked. I wanted him to cut half an inch, but the barber to cut my hair a board inch, only half an inch long hair. ([United States] Gepei Di)
