       My English was already not that great, and the accent of the Indians was so strong, so it is always hard to understand each other. In this kind of situation, it is actually not just I who suffers in the same way, but all the Indians who have spoken with me are also not exempt from the suffering.

       Just wanted to say one more thing: out of a total of 100 students in the two undergraduate classes I TAed for, there were 7 Chinese, a few Indians, a few Koreans, and a very few [other] foreigners; among the first 30 students, there was only one Chinese, and the rest were all Americans.
