A few days ago, a video went viral. Trump's five-year-old granddaughter Arabella sang children's songs in Chinese and recited the "Three Character Classic" and Tang poetry. When she was 18 months old, her mother began to hire a Chinese teacher for her to learn Chinese. Now she has been learning Chinese for three years. However, it is really rare to have such a level of Chinese.
Coincidentally, after Facebook CEO Zuckerberg’s second daughter was born, he wanted to hire a Chinese-speaking nanny with a high salary to take care of the child.
The picture comes from the Internet
In today's world, in the old capitalist developed countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, the more middle-class and above families pay more attention to the cultivation of children's Chinese learning , Chinese from primary school has become a new choice for elite education in Europe and the United States.
Not only that, former Indian Prime Minister Nehru once said to his daughter: "There is a great country in the world, and every word of her is a beautiful poem and a beautiful painting. You have to study hard.”
All of the above are phenomena brought about by the improvement of China’s international status. The charm of the Chinese language has attracted more and more foreigners to come to study and research. According to one foreigner, one foreigner is actually willing to spend a long time studying and researching Chinese oracle bone inscriptions. This research topic is relatively unpopular even in China, no. Professionals rarely get involved, and it is especially rare for a foreigner.
With the continuous improvement of our country's economic development level, people's living standards have also continued to improve. More and more people like to learn English, go shopping overseas, and travel abroad? We are no longer closed to the outside world, and we have more opportunities to communicate and communicate with the world. At the same time, don’t forget the most precious thing left to us by our ancestors, the carrier of our own culture, and the most beautiful language in the world—Chinese.
Now, the awareness of learning Chinese language and culture has sprouted like mushrooms after a spring rain and gradually developed and grown, which is spectacular. Many TV programs are conducting competitions related to Tang poetry, Song lyrics, idioms, etc. Primary schools and middle schools across the country are also increasing their efforts to promote the study of ancient poetry. This has played a good role in stimulating Chinese people's enthusiasm for learning Chinese studies.
In fact, if you want your children to learn Chinese from the bottom of their hearts, it still depends on their personal interests and hobbies. As the saying goes, interest is the best teacher. Only with interest can children learn it more proactively and actively. First of all, there must be a good learning environment, and parents must play a good guiding role. Chinese is our mother tongue, and we have an absolute advantage. However, there are many children who have headaches and no interest in Chinese as a subject after going to school. This is probably because the family environment does not provide a good learning atmosphere. If parents like Chinese and express this love in front of their children, the children who are deeply affected will more or less develop some interest in it. This is a step-by-step process that requires the joint efforts of our teachers and parents.
Thirdly, the children have gone to school. After learning various subjects in school, parents should pay attention to their children's learning of Chinese, and support and actively cooperate with their children. They can buy more books that their children love to read, and cultivate them. Children's reading habits can be used to develop children's interest in Chinese and expand their knowledge and broad horizons. This is a process in which a small amount adds up to a large amount, and quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.
In short, we must take action immediately to learn our language, inherit our culture, and carry forward our civilization. Let China's five thousand years of civilization shine again and be full of vitality.
