The Great “xiangsheng” artist, Hou Baolin, once made a joke about the Henan dialect. He said the dialect is China’s most concise because, you usually only need one word for anything. For instance, if someone goes to the hathroom, the conversation might go as follows: “who?” “Me?” “What?” “Pee!” The most frequent word used in […]

In the Chinese language, “黄色” (huáng sè) means “yellow”. However, the meaning of “黄色电影huáng sè diàn yǐn?”, “电影” means “film”. The whole phrase doesn’t mean “yellow films”, which is a confusing phrase. Actually it means “pornographic movie”. And “黄金huáng jīn” refers to the golden. So how about the meaning of “黄金周huáng jīn zhōu” (周—week)？ In […]

Resnično uživam v obiskovanju tega kraja, ker je zame kot nekakšen dom. To je odlično okolje za učenje mandarinščine na Kitajskem in srečanje s čudovitimi ljudmi z vsega sveta. Vsi tukaj so izjemno prijazni. Kunming ima res lepo podnebje. Je zelo dobra mešanica sodobnega mesta in tudi veliko zgodovinske kitajske kulture. Verjetno ima najčistejši zrak na Kitajskem in morda tudi najčistejšo vodo. Vabim vas, da pridete učit kitajščino v Kunming.
V Kunming prihajam, ker se mi zdi okolje v Kunmingu boljše, in slišal sem, da je tudi šola Keats boljša. Všeč mi je tečaj kitajščine v majhnih skupinah, ker se moji sošolci pridno učijo in so naši učitelji zelo dobri. Všeč mi je metoda poučevanja Keatsa, ker so mi všeč dejavnosti v Keatsu. Mislim, da je Yunnan še posebej lepa kitajska provinca.
Že en mesec sem na šoli Keats v Kunmingu, kjer poučujem kitajščino ena na ena z dvema različnima učiteljema. Resnično uživam. Oba učitelja sta zelo prijazna in potrpežljiva. Resnično sta mi pomagala izboljšati kitajščino, tako pri branju kot pri govorjenju. Zelo uživam tudi v učenju kitajščine v Kunmingu. To mesto je res lepo, vreme je lepo, zrak čist. Je eno najboljših mest na Kitajskem za učenje kitajščine.
Torej si v prvem tednu na Keatsu nisem upal spregovoriti niti ene kitajske besede. Ugotovil sem, da se je moja raven kitajščine od takrat hitro izboljšala. Čeprav imam na Kitajskem veliko možnosti za študij, na primer nekatere druge šole ponujajo bivanje pri družinah, sem ugotovil, da se lahko poglobim v učenje kitajščine, če bivam na Keatsu.
Ena stvar, ki mi je bila res všeč, je bila, da sem lahko sodelovala z učiteljem/učiteljico pri pripravi individualnega učnega načrta. Druga res lepa stvar je, da živiš v šoli, kjer se počutiš popolnoma varno. Vedno imaš skupino ljudi, ki so pripravljeni početi stvari s tabo ob vikendih ali zvečer. Postrežejo ti vse 3 obroke na dan, hrana je bila odlična.
Zelo priročno je priti v Kunming iz Tajske. Zelo mi je všeč tečaj kitajščine in moja kitajščina se je v nekaj mesecih zelo izboljšala. Učenje kitajščine ima veliko prednosti. Najboljše, kar mi je všeč pri Keatsu, je to, da je v Kunmingu, mestu večne pomladi. V Kunmingu je toliko za videti in to mesto boste vzljubili, ko boste prišli tja.
Ta kraj mi je res všeč, ker imamo zasebne ure mandarinščine. Obiskovala sem 6-urni program, 4 ure zjutraj in 2 popoldne. Čeprav je to precej veliko, je pouk brezplačen. To je zelo koristno, saj sem lahko ponovila, kaj sem počela prej, in se naučila novih stvari. Moja dva učitelja sta fantastična. Živimo v šoli, zato je priročno. Zame je zanimivo spoznavati ljudi z vsega sveta.
Kunmingova pokrajina je zelo lepa. To je najboljše mesto za učenje kitajščine na Kitajskem. Moja najljubša metoda učenja na šoli Keats je individualno, ker je primerna za vsakogar. Moj učitelj je zelo dober, zelo skrben in prijazen. Moje življenje med učenjem kitajščine v Kunmingu je zelo dobro, vreme pa je zelo lepo. Zrak je zelo dober. Dobro je za telo starejših.
