When I was copying Shanghai slang expressions zealously and earnestly, an old man asked me whether I was studying Shanghaidialects.
有一位老者见我在勤勤恳恳地抄写上海俚语,就问我是不是在研究上海的方言。

After arriving in Beijing, I learned to speak pure Beijing dialect and could understand Wuxi dialect, Shanghai dialect. However, I couldn't speak those dialects fluently.
