看了前面几句，感觉你的英语表达的确很“中式”，需要直译成中文才方便理解。不知道你工作中的邮件是否经 ...
it's for a chinese forum, i'm not here to promote English, i'd love to be able to type in chinese here, but I can't, not on PC. as what I said, I don't give a stuff really, as long as others can get what i mean. no, no one questioned my English at work, i get to questioned a lot here on the forum and unfortunately, I had to use english every day in my life, for the last eh.. 25 years? at work, at home in the shops, weekend jobs... and that's not the point here.
Chinese is way harder than English, it's an old language and the grammar rules are not as clear as English... it's random and ambiguous. The normal everyday language is nothing, comprehension is the true level of understanding a language, the more ambiguous the language is, the harder it is to learn and master, like sarcasm, read between the lines, black humour... it's way harder to master chinese. Actually, German is a rather easy language for an English native speaker, and French being the most scientific language of all, is the least ambiguous, and easiest to comprehend, once you remember all the structures.. the conjugations (i'm pretty bad with mechanical memory, gave up on français after 2 years of trying well, i was lazy back in the days).
Language learning is a strange beast. Someone with a good ear, and naturally good musically, can master the sound very easily of another language. So they sound good, with no accents. but others may struggle if they can't pronounce properly..
I tried with both of my children with chinese. none of them can really speak the language but I thought i'd give it a go as a good chinese parent. my boy is pretty bad with all languages, grew up with language delays, comprehension difficulties. But he's very musical, he can copy the chinese to the tee, when he hears them. so others think he can speak the language when he's just mimicking. well, because of his mimicking however, he can actually speak some very basic chinese, able to help out his grandparents to eh.. talk to his younger sister.
My daughter (ah, we all hoped she could be bilingual when she was born), could recognise the whole alphabet when she was 20 months, could read the books (well, you know, the disney types) at 4, and is still 18 months ahead in reading all sorts of books etc etc. so we sent her to chinese schools, we let her learn how to right with my mum who has got 30 years of teaching chinese in primary school behind her... and nothing. she's even worse than my son... She still has Chinese as Loto? (i'm not sure the correct term at her school) but we all know it's not going anywhere... zilch.
from my personal experience, I'd say chinese is harder. but since we live here, english is more important for the kids education, and if the kid can't be bilingual, then, english first. i'd say. |
