Culture To Grow

Episode 1: New Year's Celebration -- Around the World

Aujourd’hui, je veux parler de nourriture. Je veux parler de ce que l’on mange au Québec, mais le faire en évitant de seulement parler de plats typiquement québécois. J’ai donc choisi 20 aliments ou plats qui, pour moi, représentent le Québec d’aujourd’hui: un mélange de tradition et de modernité. Vous trouverez la version écrite de ce podcast sur mon site, frenchwithfrederic.com 

French With Frederic

Le Québec en 20 plats et aliments

嗨，大家好！欢迎来到今天的播客，我是你们的中文学习向导小韩老师。你是不是偶尔会好奇，那些方块字里藏着怎样的故事？今天，就来聊聊中文，带你看看学中文有多有趣！

先讲讲中文里的象形字，这可是中文的一大特色。比如“日”字，你看它方方正正的，就像天空中圆圆的太阳。再看“月”，弯弯的形状，是不是和天上的月亮很像？学会这些象形字，就像打开了一扇通往古老中国的大门，能看到古人是怎么观察世界、创造文字的。
 
中文的发音也很有意思。就拿四个声调来说，同样是“ma”这个音，第一声是“妈”，叫妈妈的时候用；第二声“麻”，想到麻麻辣辣的美食；第三声“马”，是奔跑的骏马；第四声“骂”，可别轻易用啦。一个音，四种意思，是不是很神奇？掌握了声调，中文就有了抑扬顿挫的美感。
 
再讲讲中文里好玩的成语。“一马当先”，简单四个字，却能生动地描绘出一个人冲在最前面，勇往直前的样子。学会用成语，能让你的表达瞬间变得高大上，还能了解背后的历史故事和文化内涵。
 
如果你担心学中文很难，别害怕！只要从简单的开始，每天学一点，积少成多，很快就能开口说中文啦。就像搭积木，一块一块，慢慢就能搭出漂亮的城堡。而且，学习中文可不只是学语言，还能了解中国的美食、电影、节日，认识好多新朋友。
 
想不想试试？现在就跟着我一起念：“你好”，这是打招呼的方式。简单吧？快来加入中文学习的大家庭，开启这场充满惊喜的语言冒险！期待在italki和你一起探索中文的奇妙世界！

I've been seeing a trend recently that many teachers are saying focus on fluency ( communication) and accuracy (no mistakes) will come with time. This episode is my take on this.
