I speak Chinese pretty well but I don't remember ever speaking it in a dream, but then my dreams never seem to be in China and I'm also rarely married with kids in them either. In fact the one time I definitely remember being married in a dream it was a dream where I was being proportioned by a beautiful woman and I said, "I can't, I'm married." Next I woke up thinking, "No, fuck, wait! Go back to sleep! Go back to sleep!"

I dream in colors, not in languages.

 

My first wake-up dream/wish is always the same: 'am sorry, I'm not a snake, because snakes aren't required to 'stand-up' and they don't have to walk.

I saw T-shirt: ''am single, let's mingle!''

No but when I am drunk I am pretty fluent in putonghua, guangdonghua, english, tongues and australian slang......usually all in the same sentence. The missus can understand this gibberish...she's a gem.

My Chinese is crap (as are all my language skills) - but yes, I have dreamed attempting to speak in Chinese (and other languages I've tried to learn).

 

However, I haven't had a dream (that I recall) when I was fluently communicating in a different language than English.

A:You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holding English Teaching license in your home country.2nd: Your BA degree should be completed in a native English country. Once, you fulfilled these 'parameters', you qualify for an English teaching job in China as a non-native English sneaker with Z - Entry/working visa with Working and Residence permit later on. See the last 'Answers Highlight' ---> there is a web link posted about 'requirements for teaching English language in China as a non-English native passport holder'. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china#paragraph-item-63614-target

*English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL). I'd say, Chinese will choose and look especially for a native English speaker at teaching of English Literature job openings. Posted job adverts for English Literature teaching are most likely from International Schools in China. Good luck! -- icnif77
