Hi Allison! I saw your post after publishing my post on bilingualism. I think juggling two languages just isn’t that easy. Like you, I took Higher Chinese in secondary school. But I’ve since forgotten how to write many characters. I intend to work on it though. You’re right about the bilingual perks! I’ve always found it a privilege to be able to read and speak in two languages.
Sorry your dad rubbed salt in your wound though.
