"我现在做sales快2年，每次到回国过年我客户才很吃惊的跟我说原来你是中国人，一直以为你是新加坡人
对于我们来说你们的想法也很奇怪，你做不到不带别别人做不到。我一个已经转SC的朋友也是十几岁来新加坡，现在我们出去玩他甚至能用简单的马来话来跟一些当地不会英文的导游交流"
上面是你自己说的，现在怎么又说没有指我呢。
You are contradicting yourself without realizing it?
That a person's ability to acquire a foreign/second language declines sharply after puberty is a scientific consensus whether YOU agree with it or not. Science is about making generalizations regarding the general population, rather than commeting on individual cases. There is a window of opportunity for language learning that gradually closes when one approaches early adolescence. After that, achieving native-like proficiency in a foreign language is an uphill task – not impossible, but generally difficult, one of the reasons being the loss of brain plasticity after a certain age. There is abundant scientific and anecdotal evidence attesting to this. You claim to be an exception. Fine. It's not a verifiable claim, but you can make any claims about yourself on the internet. But you are the one who is PRESUMING what I can or cannot do when I never made a specific claim about YOU. Get it?
And, so what if someone can speak simple Malay after living here for more than 10 years? I can speak basic French and Spanish without ever having been in France or Spain. And I still acknowledge that my ability to learn a foreign language is limited. There is a virtue called humility, and I think it will do you some good to have some of it.
