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 […]

Vsi moji sošolci ostanejo skupaj eno leto in zelo smo se izboljšali! Učitelji na Keatsu so vsi zelo super. Radi organizirajo veliko dejavnosti, ki nam pomagajo pri učenju kitajščine. Všeč mi je Keats! Všeč mi je Kunming!
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.
Mislim, da je kitajsko učno okolje tukaj odlično. Metode poučevanja so tudi zelo interaktivne in zabavne. Kar mi je tukaj še posebej všeč, je dejstvo, da se moj učitelj ne drži učbenika. Veliko časa porabimo za razprave o splošnih temah, kot so kitajska kultura, svetovne novice, tipični izrazi, ki jih uporabljajo domačini. Pogovarjamo se tudi o družbenih in gospodarskih temah.
Sem podiplomski študent, ki dela doktorat na Univerzi Columbia. Osredotočili smo se lahko na govorjenje, še posebej na govorjenje v slogu intervjujev, in izboljšali smo moje znanje branja in pisanja kitajščine, tako da se bom lahko, ko se vrnem na Columbio, udeležil formalnih tečajev kitajščine. To je bila res dobra izkušnja in resnično imam rad svojega učitelja.
Kunming je odličen kraj za učenje kitajščine na Kitajskem, saj na ulici ne govori veliko Kitajcev angleško. Keats je bila odlična šola zame in veliko drugih tujcev, ki so študirali na Kitajskem, mi jo je priporočilo. Mislim, da so vsi v redu. Metoda učenja tukaj je res strukturirana. Učenje kitajščine je zaradi njih zelo enostavno. Prav tako je veliko kulturnih in naravnih krajev za obisk.
To je moj drugi obisk. Lani sem bil prav tako približno 12 tednov. Tokrat sem prišel na 13 tednov poletnega programa na Kitajskem. Razlog, zakaj si še posebej želim priti v to šolo, so individualni tečaji. Tako sem lahko izboljšal svojo raven in se kitajsko naučil hitreje kot v skupinskih tečajih. Če bom imel prihodnje leto spet priložnost priti, bom zagotovo prišel.
Vsi učitelji so res prijazni. Raven poučevanja na Keatsu je veliko višja. Mesto mi je res všeč. Zelo udobno se je premikati po njem. Keats toplo priporočam. To je odličen kraj za učenje kitajščine na Kitajskem. Veselimo se, da se bomo letos spet vrnili.
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.
