公众号：一席文化主播：Vip | 翩翩今天，精通汉语的Austrilian卫普，要和大家一起聊聊“学汉语”这件事！1.一个外国人，汉语可以好到什么程度？How good is your Chinese? I don’t think it’s actually that good. 我觉得其实没那么好——谦虚的回答方式你太谦虚了：You’re being humble平时在工作、教研时，卫普会和一席的小伙伴中英文切换，但在聊生活时，卫普通常都会全中文，吐槽、八卦，毫无压力！但，也会在意自己的外国口音： self conscious of my accent* be self conscious of… 介意…* accent: 口音2. Do other foreigners admire you ? 会汉语会不会被其他老外羡慕？* Some are impressed：很多人会非常惊叹* ask how I learnt so well：问是怎么把汉语学这么好的* that is expected：听到他在青岛待了这么多年，就觉得that is expected，没啥好震惊的了。* trick ：小把戏没学过汉语的人，真的不知道，汉语有多难。所以并不把“会汉语”当成多厉害的事。但是有的老外，断断续续学汉语，在中国十多年，还是什么都不会说* on and off 断断续续的语言环境不是万能的，还是要自己下功夫。刚来中国时， I did admire foreigners that could make small talk with the taxi drivers 会超级羡慕能跟出租车司机，用汉语small talk的外国人。* Small talk 搭讪、闲聊几句* admire 羡慕* It really motivated me to learn as well 我也下决心要学好汉语3. 外国人眼中的汉语来（中国）之前的三个月： 3 months before coming . 在澳洲学了点汉语落地到广州后：landed in Guangzhou 发现，汉语装备严重不足：how poorly prepared I was汉语，不是闹着玩的！！！Chinese is not a language to be learnt as a hobby or for fun.汉语不是可以拿来当兴趣、学着玩儿的语言You have to commit to learning it. 你真得正儿八经的去学！ * Commit：付出精力、长期做。4. 汉语学霸的突击方法* surround yourself with mainland friends 让你周围都是中国大陆的朋友* limit your foreign friends 尽量少交外国朋友* make the most of the opportunity 好好抓住机会除此之外，还有一个不是方法的方法：* a Chinese girlfriend who likes to argue a lot 有个爱争吵的女朋友* learn Chinese pretty fast 得赶紧学汉语* to keep up （跟女朋友吵架）才能不落后5. Using instead of memorizing 单词句子，不要背，要用！No! 大部分外国人学汉语，都不太会 memorize（背） words or sentences.很多外国人学语言的方式是：使用 using!* I learn the characters through texting with WeChat汉字，居然是通过微信打字来学的！* come across a character I have never met 碰上一个从没见过的汉字* try to use it 努力用它* text other friends 发微信给别人* day to day conversation 每天的对话中外国人学汉语，更加看重的都是“使用”这门语言。以前上过节目的职业模特Peter，北欧人，他来中国四个月，就可以对话、用汉语发朋友圈了。他的秘诀也是“用”: use the language as much as possible.4. 汉语讲的好，是一种怎样的人生体验？* the best reactions 最好玩的反应* when I am in Australia and I order at hotpot restaurants.我在澳洲的火锅店点餐然后，女服务员用汉语，对旁边人说：你看这个老外，长得好帅啊。”老外“卫普就赶紧回答说：啊，谢谢！女服务员立刻害羞得红了脸， they find out I speak Chinese….并且，life 发生了变化 It makes a really big difference in my life* Mandarin 普通话* communicate with different cultural backgrounds than you. 用语言去与不同的文化背景交流，* opens your perspective 打开你的视角* I’m in Australia now but I still drink hot water 人在澳洲，依然每天喝热水* I remember an old lady telling me it was good for my health. 他记得一个中国老太太告诉他：热水有益健康* I really did notice a difference 我的确看到了变化* especially when I had a sore throat or a cold.尤其是嗓子疼、感冒的时候这就是汉语带来的变化。卫普，在节目里云淡风轻，但他学汉语是很拼的。他就是“你必须非常努力，才能看起来毫不费力”他非常干净、自律self-deciplined，他长期素食：a vegan for five years.他长期健身: a trainer for quite a long time他长期戒糖: Sugar is terrible他长期谈着同一个女朋友 has been with the same girl for a long time 他长期在一席工作着: only got late one time because of the traffic.他长期热爱着汉语、学习着汉语: try to practice everyday.世上无难事，只要肯登攀（Nothing is difficult to the man who will try），汉语是这样，英语更是如此，高手，从来都是“长期主义者”。
