"Long time no see." Actually, this expression seems Chinglish because it is grammatically incorrect. But back in the States it is perfectly normal. I don't think that all Chinglish is wrong. However, sometimes I hear commonly used phrases and words used here in Beijing by my students that I know are not normal in the States and it's ok. It's just hard for me to not point it out to my students that what they're saying doesn't sound right. And that's ok. I understand it's weird to learn a new language. You should hear me try to put a sentence together in Mandarin.
