I say "thànk yòu" roughly half the time now while speaking English. I sound like an idiot.
LOL! The tones are infecting your brain!!!
I think the accent sounds pretty and friendly and my subconscious is embracing it.
My main TA this year is from Taiwan, and I absolutely adore her accent (and just her in general)! I feel like she's the easiest to understand, and I agree it just sounds much more friendly. I'd study abroad in Taiwan, but I'm learning simplified Chinese. Traditional characters scare the shit out of me. Simplified is hard enough. Seriously...I just...HOW DO YOU DO IT?!
