How do foreigners feel about learning Chinese? Some students who were awarded the Confucius Institute Scholarship were interviewed by China Today. The following are their views and opinions.
●
Kamila Carter, the U.S.
The 12-year-old girl is a student of Confucius Institute at San Diegio State University in the U.S. Both her parents are hearing-impaired. With the help of her grandmother, she learned how to share her ideas and thoughts with family members in various languages. “The happiest time for me is learning with teachers and classmates in the Confucius Institute, and telling my dad and mom at home what I have learned, and all the stories I heard about China during class,” Carler said. “Many people around me received selfless assistance from the Confucius Institute, some of them are facing the same problems as my parents. Learning Chinese makes me more confident, and I hope to become an ambassador for China-U.S. cultural communication in the future, giving a hand to more people who need help.”
●
Lida Gulter, Russia
The beautiful Russian girl has learned Chinese for two years. She likes Chinese calligraphy and history, and is fascinated with Chinese literature. “Learning Chinese is not as simple as I thought, especially the pronunciation, which is too difficult for me. Thanks to pinyin, it is my little helper in learning standard Mandarin Chinese!” Gulter said the most attractive thing is to make more friends from around the world.
●
Ramadan Gouda, Egypt
He came to China a few months ago, but has learned Chinese for more than two years. His favorite poem is A Itanquil Night, written by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty (618-907). “Looking up, I find the moon bright; bowing, in homesickness I’m drowned.” He said, “I can’t speak Chinese very fluently, but I still like learning Chinese.
