How to practice Mandarin well?

Many young friends, even old people who are too old, want to learn standard Mandarin, so as to meet the needs of the times. For normal students, learning Mandarin is more important. Mandarin is not only a compulsory course, but also one of the professional languages and basic skills for teaching and educating people in the future. However, how can we learn Mandarin well? Personally, I need to break through three obstacles, namely, ideological obstacles, social obstacles and the awareness of quick success and instant benefit.

The first is the ideological obstacle. You should have the belief of winning everything and stick to it. Learning Mandarin is no exception. First of all, we must have absolute self-confidence, believe that we have the ability to speak Mandarin, and firmly believe that we can learn Mandarin well. Remember to finish what we started, don't give up halfway. For us, it's not that there is no basis for speaking Mandarin at all. For example, listening, speaking, reading, writing, training, watching TV, listening to the radio and communicating with foreigners from primary school are all practicing Putonghua. Unconsciously, no matter who it is, even if it is "parrot-like" or "parrot-like", it is always necessary to know a few words. This is an excellent objective language environment. There are also relatives and friends who can't speak Mandarin, which is another excellent microenvironment. What's more, the relevant government in our country is vigorously promoting Putonghua and taking various ways to help and encourage us to learn Putonghua, thus forming a strong and good social environment.

The second obstacle is the issue of public opinion. Many young people are used to dialects before learning Mandarin. As the saying goes, "everything is difficult at the beginning." You have spoken dialects for more than ten years or even decades, and you are used to it, so are the people around you. One day, you suddenly speak nonstandard Mandarin, and others may feel a little unaccustomed. There is such a news that only 20 people can barely understand the meeting of the president of XX Company. At that time, it was because the president wanted to speak nonstandard Mandarin that he made such a joke. Of course, the media caused a storm in this city. Since then, the president can no longer speak Mandarin, so he hired an "interpreter". Poor thing! Sad! Dare to face the ridicule of others is the second obstacle. To break through it, courage needs to be multiplied. Don't be afraid of what others say. If you do this, Mandarin will be half the battle. Otherwise, just like the president. ...

Besides courage, we should also pay attention to a little strategy. For example, give yourself a strictly limited day, do not speak or try not to speak your hometown dialect (that is, dialect) for a period of time, or change your geographical location, such as transferring (upgrading) from this school to another school; Or you leave your hometown to work in other places; Apply to the company; Business trip ... in this way, when you practice Mandarin in a strange environment, others will never know the difference between what you are saying now and your hometown dialect, and of course there will be no sarcasm or displeasure. At this time, you can even sing your "Beijing dialect".

The third is to avoid quick success and instant benefit. Learn Mandarin step by step, don't worry.

It can be said that if you really follow the above steps, your Mandarin will get better and better. At that time, if you stood confidently on the platform, would you still be afraid of being teased by students and lose your job?

Depending on where you live, you can find out the obvious local dialect, focusing on the local accent, which is the first priority of your Putonghua training. For example, most southern accents are indistinguishable in n \ l, Hua Er accent in Beijing, flat tip of tongue in some parts of Northeast China, zero initial and so on. If you take the Putonghua Grade Certificate in your place of residence, you should focus on the local accent. For example, I'm from the northeast, when I took the Mandarin exam in the northeast.
