Hi! All
I can't remember when I learned to use chopsticks. When I was a kid, I liked to use my left hand to play. Having meals was no exception. So when I used my left hand to write words, my teacher always hit my hand with his sitck. At home, I'd like to use my left hand to eat things. Now, I still can't use chopsticks to eat things with my right hand.
When did you learn to use chpsticks with your hand?

Hi!
I have used spoons and forks. When I eat soup, I like to use a spoon. When I eat meat, I use a fork. What I like to use most is chopsticks. Some people told me that using chopsticks makes my fingers more flexible. It's comfortable to use chopsticks when you eat noodles. Good luck!

if i eat noodles i use a fork. So why couldn't you use your left hand? That's pretty mean especailly for someone who was born left handed.

why did your teacher hit your left hand when you wrote words? I never learned how to use chopsticks. I need to learn but I tried one time and got really frushtrated. it would be cool to eat Chinese food and use chopsticks instead of the typical spoon and fork. :)

Hi!
When I was at school, we were not allowed to write with left hands. So once the teacher saw me writing with left hand, he would hit my hand. Thanks to the teachers, now I can use my right hand to write. You know, we like eating all kinds of noodles. It's convenient to use chopsticks for us to eat noodles. How do you eat noodles, with a spoon or a fork?

Hello there. Like you, I cannot recall how and when did I start using chopsticks. Using chopsticks is chinese, japanese and korean cultures. Being a Chinese myself, even though I know how to use chopsticks, I prefer using fork and spoon. Both have the same functionality and it's easier to use fork and spoon. When I use my chopsticks, I use my right hand.
