In the morning's English class, we dicuss a interesting phenomenon that professor Victor said some American think Chinese speaking sounds funny, they will laugh cover the mouth what cause they think Chinese pronounce have four tone is funny. Actually , I have never saw any American laugh at Chinese pronounce.
Royce said Chinese pronounce have 4 tones. For example, "ma".For first tone is called level tone,means mama.The second tone is called rising tone,means hemp. Third, is called falling-rasing tone, means horse. Falling tone is fourth tone, mean scold.This is just a little little part of meaning, for every similarypronounce has different meaning, and also have different meaning for one word.
Fascinate Chinese!
I changed my evening's business law class to afternoon. I must have Choice Phobia Disorder.I want to take both class, one of professor is teach more professional knowledge but looks serious, one of professor's class have more fun and easy to get A. Finally, I take a second prefessior.
In the class, I make a friend with Larry. He is a nice guy who father is Italian, mother is Spanish. He is study Chinese now, sounds great. He can talk some easy words and sentences with us, such as :"how are you""you are a good student""thanks" in Chinese. I believe he is a thirst knowledge people. He plans to study a lot! I should study form he!
