China, Part II - Language and Culture

"With each new experience I'm in China is growing my fascination for this country and its language. " learned in the first part of the interview with the student Pilar Czoske us more about the background of their stay in the country in the middle. Today Pilar talks about her experience with the Chinese language.

What makes China so special in their eyes?

Gradually I was able to immerse themselves in the culture and language of China. That starts with getting to know the daily life, eating habits and family values and to witness. It continues with the Chinese language to capture the complex character world and the active learning of the language by listening and talking. But The contrasts are what fascinate - very modern buildings, an almost futuristic cityscape to small side streets in the scents of street food, clothes lines, craft shops and the voices of children and old people who join a table and play board games.

What are your experiences with the Chinese language?

I think if you bring joy and curiosity to explore the world of the characters, the Chinese is at least more exciting and challenging. My personal experience is that you should have a lot of perseverance and patience to learn this language step by step. Above all, we must to the expectations of themselves, speak Chinese well after one year. There is the understanding, speaking and writing and finally reading - all of these areas are to learn in different ways. If one focuses only on such as listening and speaking, this does not mean that you can also write Chinese. If one, however the focus on learning the script and sentence structure, this does not mean that you can talk in everyday life.

What is easy for the use of Chinese language? What is more difficult?

When trains are listening, you have already won. The language but to really learn the Chinese culture and "comprehensive" to know, but it is my opinion, most important, to be able to read and write. Then again open many doors to understanding China and its ways of thinking or simply perceive it differently. Nevertheless, I think that I see the world's largest sign is to manage. I often forget the characters or different combinations again a new meaning that can be understood only in the context of the whole sentence. It's complicated and sometimes exhausting.
