Chapter 548
Difficult Chinese in Chapter 546
In the early morning, Zhang Zi An opened his eyes and scanned the bedroom for a week. The elves were sleeping, so he turned over again and planned to sleep for a while. The time was too early, and the outside was too dark and too cold. The wind is strong.
However, after he lay down for a while, he was sleepy. He always felt that something was wrong. He thought carefully and didn’t seem to see π?
He propped up the upper body from the bed and carefully looked through the night light of Famous, temporarily giving π the chair in the bed empty, π disappeared.
Is it going to the toilet?
Zhang Zi An turned around and saw that there was no light under the door of the toilet, so it should not be in the toilet… He patted his head, π is a fantasy elf, what toilet? It’s so sleepy!
Hey!
There was a slight tapping on the keyboard in the living room, and Zhang Zi An put on his coat, bypassing the familiar and sloppy Famous, and walked over to see the back of π.
It sits in front of the coffee table, and the light of the notebook screen gives it a furry outline. The nameless book is placed next to the computer.
The π is relatively short. If you sit on the sofa and use the computer for a long time, it is very uncomfortable, so it simply sits cross-legged on the ground, so there is a carpet around the coffee table, not too cold.
A new Word document is opened in the computer, and the lines are filled with dense numbers. If you don’t ask, it is still a pi, which contains some meaningless English letters. It may be practicing typing.
The clip-on glasses frame is placed on the bridge of the nose, and a thin spectacle lens reflects the light from the screen. Viewed from the side, the spectacle lens seems to have no degree, and the circle of myopia lens can not be seen.
π typing is very slow, sometimes forgetting the position of a certain key, the finger hanging on the keyboard has not fallen, but even so, there is no convenience to use the two fingers.
In order to avoid disturbing other elves to sleep, it deliberately puts the action very light.
Hearing Zhang Zi An’s footsteps, he turned his head back and grinned silently.
Zhang Zi An pointed to the desk, picked up the laptop, put it on the desk, and adjusted the height of the swivel chair to the highest level, then put the mat on it, let π sit in the swivel chair, and then moved a chair and sat next to it. .
This height is just right, π is very comfortable.
It pointed to the screen and let Zhang Zi An see it, typing in English: I want to learn Chinese.
This line of English is still mixed between a series of numbers, but the number is much smaller than in the library, although it is still awkward to read, but at least not too eye-open.
learn Chinese?
Zhang Zi An squats, stretches his arms, and responds in English as well: Why?
The meaning of π is obviously to learn Chinese typing, which is not the same as the difficulty of speaking and listening. For foreigners, it is too difficult to change from the Indo-European alphabet to the hieroglyphics in the Sino-Tibetan language.
π on the screen: because the surrounding is all Chinese.
It points to the various function buttons on Word, and refers to the various books placed on the desk, whether it is the text on the button or the spine of the book, all in Chinese, only a small amount of English.
π If you want to live in a pet store for a long time, if you want to live in China for a long time, if you don’t know Chinese at all, you will have to face many difficulties and inconveniences.
Zhang Zi An nodded and typed: I understand, how do you plan to learn? Can your book teach you?
π shaking his head, typing: There is no Chinese in the book.
Zhang Zi An thought that the book was all-encompassing, and there should be everything inside, so I was surprised to hear the news.
π See Zhang Zi An is puzzled, and said: the book is knowledge.
Oh, he finally knows some of the inside story of this book. This is a book about life, the universe, and everything. However, it is probably written in English. There is no Chinese in it. Of course, you can’t use this book to learn Chinese.
Zhang Zi An thought about it and typed: You can’t speak Chinese, but can you understand me?
π replied: I will pinyin and understand.
What the hell? There are pinyin in this book but no Chinese characters?
Zhang Zi An encourages: Pinyin, learning Chinese will be very fast, I will help you.
π eyebrows open smile, and said: Thank you. The book teaches how to learn Chinese faster.
Next, Zhang Zi An found a lot of free tutorials on Chinese teaching from the Internet, letting π control videos learn.
π is very focused on learning, staring at the screen intently, sitting in front of the computer for a few hours, often looking through the video to read the anonymous book, you have to ask Zhang Zi An to urge it to stand up and move, it will stand up.
Zhang Zi An has finished the business in the store, finished playing hide and seek with Xinghai, and went to the green field with the battlefield and the familiar to complete the training of the day. The rest of the time is allocated to π as much as possible, providing some help, such as It chooses a convenient Chinese input method.
It may be because it is familiar with Pinyin. It may be that the learning method in the anonymous book has a miraculous effect. It may be that the current Chinese input method is too smart. It is possible to type a sentence accurately by typing the initial letter of each word. It is an elf born of the power of faith. It can’t be used as a common sense. In short, learning Chinese from Chinese is very fast. It can be said that it can be improved quickly. In just one day, some simple Chinese sentences can be played. By the next day, it I can express my thoughts in Chinese. Although there are many numbers and typos in it, some grammatical mistakes can make people feel uncomfortable, but its progress is real.
The grammar problem is not easy to solve. The grammar of Chinese is too complicated. The position of the same word in the sentence changes. The meaning of this sentence may be completely different, and the same sentence will have different meanings depending on the context.
Zhang Zi An found the old newspaper for π and let it type according to the news above. The texts in the newspapers are very standardized written words, the sentences are fluent, and the meanings are clear. It is not too late to learn the spoken language after learning the written language.
π is not too tired to learn, but it can’t go out in the pet shop. Only Zhang Zi An can be reached, and Zhang Zi An often needs to go to the customer midway, and can’t stay with him all the time.
Learning a language, the most important thing is to communicate, through daily conversation and interaction, immersed in the atmosphere of language learning. π does not speak like other elves. No one except Zhang Zi An can communicate with it. Its Chinese learning quickly encounters a bottleneck. For the same reason, π is very lonely and often falls idly.
Zhang Zi An is also aware of this, but he has a lack of skills, both to deal with customers and to take care of other elves, it is impossible to have too much time to accompany π.
He wants to find a way to make π not so lonely.
