How do foreigners learn Chinese?
老外如何学中文
If you find it hard to learn English, think of the foreigners who learn Chinese. The number of people learning Chinese around the world reached 100 million in 2017, up from 30 million in 2004, according to People’s Daily. Europe’s first Chinese-English primary school recently opened in the British capital of London.
But do you know how foreigners learn Chinese? What difficulties do they usually meet when learning about Chinese culture? And how do they overcome these difficulties? Mike Fuksman, Teens’ foreign editor from the United States, has lived in China for more than seven years. He wants to share his story of learning Chinese.
Like many foreigners, I only knew two words of Chinese ( “hello” and “thank you” ) when I came to China in 2009. As you can probably guess, my life was difficult for a while after I arrived. Simple tasks like ordering food or taking a taxi were quite stressful.
I knew I had to learn more Chinese, so I signed up for a class. My teacher was very helpful, although I didn’t learn enough to have a real conversation. Later I studied on my own as well, but my progress was still slow. I became very upset.
Finally, I found that the best way to learn Chinese is to make friends with native speakers and spend time with them. Around this time, I started playing in a band with a Chinese woman who became one of my best friends in Beijing. I learned a lot of Chinese by hanging out with her.
For example, she taught me a lot of words about music, such as “melody”. She learned a lot of English from me in return, so it was a good way to exchange language and culture. She is still one of my best friends and we talk to each other nearly every day.
I’ve learned enough Chinese to take care of difficult tasks, such as booking train tickets and negotiating with my landlord. However, going to the bank and understanding technological vocabulary are still tough for me.
These days, there are more foreigners who are studying Chinese. I can understand why it’s a fascinating language. There are always new words waiting to be discovered.

【推荐3】Tea to people in eastern countries is like air or water. It’s something that they can’t live without.
When I was young, I experienced a neighbor’s warm kindness. I was very sad after losing a long-term friendship. My neighbor invited me to have tea at her home one evening.
That night, she took out a beautiful tea set. She told me all about her story. She came to America because she lost someone she loved. She told me, over that cup of tea, that her pain(痛苦) was gone. She advised me to think about how to go forward. We ended our evening tea at 2:00 a.m. It was truly a heartwarming and unforgettable cup of tea.
Years later I taught English in Japan. One student showed me her thanks in a special way after her lessons ended. In the final lesson, she brought her tea set—a lovely box with all the things that were needed. She quietly poured green tea into a bowl, added hot water, whisked(搅拌) it carefully with a brush on top!After finishing it，she silently held it out to me to drink with both hands. I was surprised at her tea art show and her kind heart. It was so much more than a cup of tea!

【推荐1】Mr Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code (二维码). “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to make the codes, and in the end everything got easier,” said Guo. “When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat. Then each student makes his/her own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their homework everywhere using my computer or telephone.”
The QR codes can be sent to Mr Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos.
Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information ago. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun.” said Tingting, a student of Guo’s.
“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share.” Guo said, “It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”
However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their homework, which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students’ homework at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.
1. Guo’s students think the new way is __________.| A．strange | B．interesting | C．boring | D．unnecessary |
| A．The paper is not easy to keep. | B．Keeping and sharing the code easily. |

| A．talk with teachers face to face |

| C．not like the new way of handing in homework |

All the students will have to do is to download their textbooks from the Internet.

At present, the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann, the owner of this company is having his creation tested at Chicago's DePaul University, where he studied. Does that mean it is goodbye to the new paper, and the smell of the black ink?

【推荐3】Here are some manners in different countries. You have to shake hands when you’re coming or going in Germany, but in Britain you usually only shake hands when you meet someone for the first time. You have to give your present in public in the Middle East to show it’s not a bribe (贿赂), but it’s good manners to give your present in private in Asia. You mustn’t give cutlery (刀具) in Latin America because it suggests that you want to cut off the relationship. You mustn’t give food or drink in Saudi Arabia because it suggests you think your hosts aren’t offering you enough to eat and drink. You mustn’t give a clock in China because the Chinese word for clock is similar to the word for funeral (葬礼). Offices are usually closed on Fridays in Moslem countries. Americans usually mean “Yes” when they nod their heads. An English person probably just means “I understand”, and an Asian is just showing interest.
