Chapter 73: Syllabary Chart



At the entrance of the Cultural Palace at 7:50.

There is a lot of traffic.

Xiaoqi walked over. She arrived ten minutes early because she had an appointment with someone else.

At 5:55, I saw a black car slowly parked at the door. Xiaoqi didn't know the quality of the car, but he felt that it was very good-looking. The paint on the surface had a flowing feeling in the sunlight.

The car stopped, the driver got out first, and then hurried to the back to open the door.

The car door opened and a little girl in a blue dress got out.

The posture of getting off the car is very beautiful.

She smiled and thanked the driver.

Then he walked towards Xiao Qi and said, "Good morning, Teacher Xiao Qi."

"Good morning." Xiao Qi was a little embarrassed. The other party called her teacher and they would study together soon. She said, "Just call me Xiao Qi."

Guan Jingzhi nodded.

She thought Teacher Xiaoqi was quite interesting and looked very aloof. She saw the teacher in the car, standing at the door. She was very pretty and serious, and would not let anyone approach her and chat with her. In this respect, she seemed very similar to her cousin, who was particularly aloof and domineering, but when she spoke, she seemed to be quite shy and would blush every time she spoke.

Xiaoqi rarely wore the jeans and baby T-shirt her aunt bought for her today. Her legs were straight and long, and the light pink top made her fair and beautiful look more prominent, making her look a little playful, and she looked like a rare lady.

The two greeted each other and went in together.

Guan Jingzhi's Japanese teacher is a staff member of the Cultural Palace. It is said that he has lived in Japan and South Korea for more than ten years and is an expert on both countries. He is not like those who run Japanese training classes in Lushan City now. Some of them have studied Japanese for several years but cannot speak it well, and they try to fool students. After all, Japanese is a minority language in China compared to English, and it is easier to fool students.

She was a teacher arranged by Guan Jingzhi's family. She did not teach to the public, but she did accept a few students from relatives and friends. The tuition was not high, only 100 yuan per class.

Later yesterday, Guan Jingzhi sent her teacher Zhou Meiling's introduction. She checked online and thought that the price was probably just a friendly price.

Anyway, he seems quite capable and is fluent in Japanese and Korean.

Zhou Meiling was not very happy when her students told her that they wanted to bring a friend to learn Japanese. She was teaching these students out of favors, as they all had connections in their families, otherwise the task would not have been entrusted to her so easily.

However, Guan Jingzhi is considered a relatively outstanding student. Zhou Meiling personally likes her very much. The girl studies hard, has good comprehension, and learns quickly. It is hard to say about other students. Fortunately, those who are not good at studying will not want to study after a while, and she is too lazy to bother with them.

At her age, if she really doesn't like a student, it is easy to make the other party give up. What's more, if Guan Jingzhi brings someone from her circle, she doesn't want to offend him, so she agreed.

Guan Jingzhi had just started learning and had only attended three or four classes.

She had a good impression of this teacher. He was quite polite to her, taught well, was clear and well-organized, and spoke very well. He was also a person of good temperament and knowledge. And probably because the teacher had been abroad, Guan Jingzhi would also go abroad to visit her aunt during the summer vacation, so she also had the feeling of having been abroad.

Xiao Qi and Guan Jingzhi entered a place that looked like a conference room together, and saw a middle-aged woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a professional houndstooth plaid suit sitting under the screen at the front where slides were displayed.

The woman was dressed very exquisitely, from head to toe, with the hairpin on her head, the belt around her waist, the stockings on her feet, and the high heels. She looked like a serious professional woman.

Xiaoqi was looking at the other person, and Zhou Meiling was also looking at her.

At first glance, I felt that this little girl had a very good temperament. She was even more majestic than Guan Jingzhi. Although the word majestic is a bit inappropriate, that's how I felt.

Zhou Meiling agreed at first sight that the other party's family background might be better than Guan Jingzhi's. She didn't know which family he was from, and she had never heard of him. But when she saw how respectful Guan Jingzhi was to her, she became even more certain and a smile appeared on her face.

"You are here, sit down."

After they sat down, someone came in and brought them two cups of flower tea and some snacks.

It doesn't seem like I'm here to study.

She heard the person serving tea call Zhou Meiling "Chapter Zhou", but she didn't know what the name meant.

She followed Guan Jingzhi and shouted, "Hello, Teacher Zhou."

"Teacher Zhou, this is my friend Su Xiaoqi. She is very interested in Japanese and wants to learn it." Guan Jingzhi said in a sweet voice.

Zhou Meiling's smile widened.

"That's perfect. You've already learned three lessons. Today, the teacher can teach you from the beginning to consolidate your knowledge."

Xiaoqi was originally worried about affecting the other person's progress in class, so he thought of just sitting in on the class. He didn't expect the teacher to be so considerate.

Seeing that the other party didn't talk much and wasn't the type to be very good at dealing with people, Zhou Meiling became even more convinced that a child from a truly good family wouldn't need to please others.

Although her bag, watch, and clothes are ordinary, some of the families of those children have strict requirements and will not use luxury goods, which can actually last longer.

In short, at first sight, when she saw the other person, she felt a kind of unattainable temperament, and Zhou Meiling concluded that this student had a complicated background. All other analyses came from this complicated background and seemed to serve as evidence.

Xiaoqi didn't know about this misunderstanding. He felt that the teacher looked very dignified at first glance, but was actually quite friendly.

"Learning Japanese is very simple. When we read Japanese books or watch movies and TV shows, we will find that many characters are the same as our Chinese characters, so we have an advantage in learning Japanese. However, the pronunciation and meaning of these same characters are often different. We start learning from Japanese hiragana and katakana, which are equivalent to our pinyin. Hiragana and katakana have the same pronunciation but different writing methods."

As she spoke, the slide show on the screen behind her opened.

Japanese syllabary chart.

Guan Jingzhi is still learning these contents after taking a few classes, but she has basically memorized them.

I didn't get impatient during the repeated review today and still listened very attentively.

Xiaoqi has an efficiency buff bonus, and once he starts listening to the class, he will be very focused.

Although it was a completely new subject, I didn't find it too difficult.

In fact, her age is a good time to learn. She has a good memory, a flexible mind, and can accept new things quickly. Of course, because of this, many children of this age are more easily influenced by external things, because learning is often unclassified. It may be learning things in textbooks, or it may be learning things in society. The learning ability is the same.

Therefore, the social environment in which a person lives is very important, and thinking and discernment are also very important.

Xiaoqi felt that this class was extremely fast and was very interested in the 50-character kana chart.

The teacher taught them to read one by one, and she and Guan Jingzhi followed along.

This experience is different from being a teacher yourself, and also different from attending classes. I feel that small class teaching is still very advantageous, because if you don’t understand something, you can ask, and the teacher can answer you immediately, which is very efficient.

A class lasts for an hour and a half, and Xiaoqi feels it is surprisingly easy.

It is easy to write and read. It seems that Japanese is much simpler than English.

The teacher also taught a few simple Japanese greetings.

"Good morning: おはよう

Hiragana pronunciation: おはよう

Romanization: ohayou

"Good morning, teacher: Mr. お好うございます."

These phrases and sentences are easy to remember.

After learning these, it will be much easier to read the Japanese textbooks and cases you bought.

After the class, Xiaoqi said goodbye to Teacher Zhou and Guan Jingzhi and went to the gym to swim.

Zhou Meiling was also quite happy. The new student seemed to be a very good student. She originally thought that Guan Jingzhi was already very good, but she didn't expect that this student seemed to learn even faster. It seemed that he had mastered all the hiragana and katakana in one class. She couldn't help but sigh that people are really different. If she had this kind of learning enthusiasm when she was young, she wouldn't be in this situation now.

Xiaoqi was humming songs along the way, feeling very happy as he walked on the road.

It feels good to learn something new.

When I went to the gym to swim, my mind was still full of the Japanese hiragana and katakana that I had just learned.

She found that her memory was better than before, and she felt that the more she used her brain, the more active it became, and if she didn't use it, it would become stagnant.

Because swimming is a mechanical exercise, she can also recite what she learned in the morning while swimming.

Yesterday was a swimming competition. Today, the coach didn't ask her to swim particularly fast. Instead, he asked her to maintain her previous swimming feeling and practice more. So she was in a relatively relaxed state and could recite while swimming without any delay.

When she emerged from the water and stretched her body, a mechanical voice suddenly rang out in her ears again: "Host, learn a new language and quickly master the 50-sound chart. Reward the host with an experiential reading card."
