    She's going to speak more Chinese than you. -does she already?

There's no comparison. I will never achieve the is fluency that she already has.

Just recently she has started to favor English over Chinese. I expect that these three weeks will reverse that trend.

That must be frustrating at times, to not be able to know what she is saying. Is your Chinese improving as a result of her fluency?

It's not frustrating, actually. She knows I only understand English, and uses it with me. I guess I am pretty used to hearing Chinese spoken about me and know enough to generally get a feel about whether the topic concerns me or not.

My own Chinese has improved slightly. I can now say things like "Where is big bear sleeping?"
