Some people from Chinese-spoken countries (especially the old people) will be surprised finding out foreigners speak Chinese (at least asking for a way or ordering food NOT in fast food restaurant). What usually happens then is they will praise then ask some questions just to fulfill their curiosity (usually it lasts only a while). You may find it like:
01. you speak good Chinese = 你說得中文很好 (ni shuo de zhongwen hen hao | ㄋㄧˇ ㄕㄨㄛ ㄉㄜ ㄓㄨㄥ ㄨㄣˊ ㄏㄣˇ ㄏㄠˇ)
02. your Chinese is good = 你的中文很好 (ni de zhongwen hen hao | ㄋㄧˇ ㄉㄜ ㄓㄨㄥ ㄨㄣˊ ㄏㄣˇ ㄏㄠˇ)
03. which country you are from? = 你是哪國人? (ni shi na guo ren? | ㄋㄧˇ ㄕˋ ㄇㄚˇ ㄍㄨㄛˊ ㄖㄣˊ?)
04. how long you have been here? = 你在這裡多久了? (ni zai zheli duo jiu le? | ㄋㄧˇ ㄗㄞˋ ㄓㄜˋ ㄌㄧˇ ㄉㄨㄛ ㄐㄧㄡˇ ㄌㄜ?)
05. how long you have been studying Chinese? = 你學中文多久了? (ni xue zhongwen duo jiu le? | ㄋㄧˇ ㄒㄩㄝˊ ㄓㄨㄥ ㄨㄣˊ ㄉㄨㄛ ㄐㄧㄡˇ ㄌㄜ?)
