What is the role of learning Mandarin well?

Significance of popularizing Putonghua

The greatest significance of Putonghua is to facilitate communication. Taking the official language of a country is another matter. Once established, everyone should learn. This is easy to say, but there are many psychological obstacles in it.

When the United States developed the west, people from all over the world flocked to it. They spoke many languages, including ancient Latin and Slavic, but eventually they all gave up their mother tongue and spoke English, which laid the foundation for the development of the west and became an important part of the spirit of the west.

It takes a lot of courage to give up your mother tongue. It is precisely because everyone is willing to accept new things and not afraid to change themselves to adapt to the new environment that everyone can unify English. People are no longer poles, British and French, but all Americans. No barriers, no gangs, no discrimination, no locals and foreigners. Everything is based on reason, no matter where the speaker comes from. The spirit of the west is the spirit of openness.

There are many western-style areas in modern China, such as Oil City. All the people engaged in oil come from all over the country. They get together and speak Mandarin, which has also become a scenic spot in their province. There are no locals in these places, and they are all outsiders. The same reason is reasonable, no matter where the speaker comes from. People who have been to these places admire the local American western-style open culture.

Many areas in China used to be new places, such as Shanghai, Qingdao and Tianjin, but after a long time, this spirit of openness faded and people began to close up. Shanghai is typical.

Shanghainese come from all over the country, especially Wuxi, Ningbo, Suzhou and other places. At first, everyone did not exclude each other, and * * * combined to form a "Shanghainese". However, gradually, the consciousness of Shanghai school has emerged. Shanghai people feel inferior in culture, especially in front of Suzhou people. Suzhou has culture, Shanghai has no culture, Suzhou is civilized, and Shanghainese have no culture and manners. However, Shanghainese are very proud in front of other regions. "I would rather quarrel with Suzhou people than talk to Ningbo people." Su Beiren, in particular, has been discriminated against to the point where it is well known throughout the country.

In modern society, speaking Mandarin is a symbol of culture and civilization. For example, Qingdao and Jinan used to be dialect areas. Nowadays, except for some old people, few people speak Shandong dialect. Watching the news program of Shandong Satellite TV, no matter who the reporter interviews in the street, everyone speaks Mandarin. Proud and avant-garde in speaking Mandarin has become the knowledge of literate people. Even rural primary schools have fully implemented Putonghua teaching. There are no migrant workers from rural Shandong who can't speak Mandarin. People who can't speak Mandarin will be considered old-fashioned, which is the mentality of people in developed areas.

But cities like Shanghai and Tianjin are still very backward. They have a clear concept of locals and foreigners, and they are proud of Shanghainese, while foreigners are old-fashioned. When someone says a word, listen to the accent first. It was said by the locals, but it would be wrong to think about it again. Don't listen to what outsiders say. I discriminate against foreigners. Isn't it necessary to be regarded as a foreigner to speak Mandarin? Speaking the local dialect is the first timid ending.

It is true that people who speak dialects are old-fashioned People who speak Tianjin dialect are native, while people who speak Shanghai dialect are native. They have been in Shanghai all their lives, and many people have never even taken a train. They don't know what the country has become, which is better than Shanghai. Fortunately, with Pudong now, Shanghainese don't want to take the train. The modern Pudong next to it has shown how backward Shanghai is. Now people say that Shanghai is developed, but they are actually talking about Pudong, a foreigner in Shanghai's mind. The real old Shanghai really has nothing to boast about. Frogs in the well, Shanghainese and Tianjin people all taste the same.

Without the construction of Pudong, Shanghainese will never know the taste of overpass, wide road and ring road. Shanghainese don't know how to wander, no one has a tourist tent, no one has played with 125CC motorcycles, and they don't know what it's like to drive a four-wheel drive military jeep. If you say that there are few bicycles in Qingdao, Shanghainese who ride bicycles every day will not believe you. All this is related to the persistence of Shanghainese and Tianjin people in dialects.

People who speak Mandarin are civilized. They can accept new things and discard old things. People who speak dialects are backward and uneducated. They are far away from modern civilization, incompatible with new things, have disadvantages at home and enjoy their daughter alone. If you can't even accept Mandarin, what else can you accept?

First of all, master the tools for learning Mandarin.

Chinese Pinyin is the main tool for learning Mandarin. As long as you can master and skillfully use Chinese Pinyin, you will speed up the learning of Putonghua and improve the accuracy of pronunciation.

Second, master the differences between local dialects and Mandarin.

The difference between Putonghua and local dialects is mainly manifested in pronunciation. For different regions, this difference is also different, but there are certain corresponding laws. For example, people in Zhangye and Linze can't tell sh from F, an from ang. As long as you are good at observing and thinking, mastering this law, correcting dialects and practicing correctly, it is not difficult to learn Mandarin.

Third, learn some common words first.

In life, some words and expressions are often used, such as "hello, thank you, excuse me" and so on. First learn these commonly used words and expressions and use them constantly, and then gradually expand the scope of study after mastering them. Using this method, it is easy to see the learning effect and enhance the self-confidence in learning.

Fourth, persevere without fear of ridicule.

In the process of learning, there may be some jokes, but you can't back down because of them. On the contrary, we should make progress despite difficulties, persevere and turn others' laughter into our own learning motivation.

If you are from the north, it will be easy to learn Mandarin. If you are a southerner, it will be relatively troublesome and you will encounter some difficulties or obstacles, but it depends on your language (Mandarin) foundation.

Southerners have special pronunciations, different customs and habits, and dialects in some places are more complicated.

Generally speaking, southerners generally don't roll their tongues or nasal sounds, and in some places they even confuse the N sound with the L sound. H and F can't be distinguished clearly, and then the four tones can't be distinguished, which is easy to cross talk and cross talk.

As long as you master the key points of the above problems in the process of study and practice, get close to and communicate with people who communicate in Putonghua at ordinary times, pay attention to correcting and proofreading pronunciation mistakes from time to time, and strengthen and improve your listening and reading ability (most like reading aloud in newspapers and magazines, the effect is better), then learning Putonghua will get twice the result with half the effort.

At first, progress may be slow, but as long as you master the tricks, you will immediately sum up your own experience and learn with ease. It will take a long time in the end, unlike you who can't speak Mandarin. After all, Mandarin is not difficult.

If you want to learn Mandarin well, the first thing is to insist on speaking every day, which is very important, and at the same time pay attention to finding your own problems when speaking. After discovering your own dialect problems, you need to find the correct training method, and you can consult your teacher to carry out targeted training. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the pronunciation of some people who speak standard Mandarin every day, including students who listen to the radio and speak Mandarin well around them. In addition, if you have time, do some reading training every day and practice step by step in the order of ancient poetry-poetry-prose. In short, Putonghua learning is also a language learning, and only by perseverance can it be effective. Generally speaking, as long as it lasts for 3-5 months, it will have certain effects, and some people have made great progress.

I wish you a smooth study and a pleasant use!

By the way,

Just like children don't talk at first, they talk too much and get in touch with more people, so they will get better slowly. Really, I have a classmate who just came to school. We should all listen to her carefully. It's hard, but now she speaks very well.

Try it, don't be afraid of being laughed at, come on!
