"Report! I am proficient in three foreign languages: English, Russian, and Japanese, so I want to spend more time learning other things." Xu Peng Fei said loudly without changing his expression.
"Proficient? How much have you studied before you can say you are proficient? You are proficient in Russian, right? Do you know how many accents there are in Russian? How many commonly used colloquial syllables are there?" Teacher Liu looked ugly and asked directly.
Xu Peng Fei instantly choked up. To be proficient in Russian must be to be proficient in the official language. As for speaking some dialects and accents, who cares about that.
"Don't speak Russian. Are you proficient in Chinese? What did you eat for lunch today?" The teacher used Hokkien for the last question.
As we all know, a language like Hokkien... is actually not much different from a foreign language. Anyway, for most people who are hearing Hokkien for the first time, if you can guess 30% of the meaning of a sentence, it is considered great.
Xu Peng Fei: "..."
"You don't understand, right? I'll ask you in other dialects." The teacher directly switched to Uyghur, Mongolian, Tibetan, including Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Fujian, Fujian, Guangdong and other dialects.
"How many do you know?" After asking, the teacher looked at him and asked.
"Report... three." Xu Peng Fei's voice involuntarily became quieter twice.
"Also, aren't you proficient in Japanese? What level of Japanese are you at? Do you know how many dialects there are in Japanese? What is the difference between Kanto and Kansai?" Teacher Liu asked again.
"Report, I don't know."
"Well, do you know Spanish? Do you know Portuguese? Have you learned the difference between American English and British English? Do you know London accent or New York accent?" Teacher Liu stood on the podium, switching between different languages in his mouth.
All the students in the classroom were dumbfounded. For quite a few of them, their English was barely passable, let alone the ability to learn so many languages.
"Report, I'm sorry, teacher, I will continue to attend the next class." Xu Peng Fei apologized directly. He couldn't afford to offend him.
"Sit down. Don't talk nonsense in the future. Also, who doesn't want to listen to my class now? I'll give you a chance. If you don't say it now, I don't want to hear anything similar in the future. Otherwise, all your grades will fail!" Teacher Liu waved his hand to Xu Peng Fei to sit down, and then said loudly.
"Are you there?!" Seeing that no one was talking, Teacher Liu repeated it again.
Jiang Yan Hai is a little helpless. He doesn't want to speak. The problem is that he can't do it in this situation.
"Report!" Jiang Yan Hai said loudly.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned over. Teacher Liu's eyes were a little sharp at first, but when he saw the military rank of Jiang Yan Hai, his eyes softened somewhat.
"Jiang Yan Hai, are you okay?" There was only one person with a higher military rank than him in the class, so of course Liu ZhiKuan remembered it.
"Report, Teacher Liu, although I am very sorry, but actually I want to say that I will not come to the next language class. You can give me a set of papers. If I pass the exam, because I have other further courses, Teacher Liu, please be accommodating." Jiang Yan Hai is very polite.
Jiang Yan Hai's tone was very polite, and Jiang Yan Hai's identity was a bit special. Although Liu ZhiKuan didn't know what was special, he had been notified in advance by the college that if Jiang Yan Hai was unable to attend class, absenteeism would not be recorded.
"Jiang Yan Hai, you know that our foreign language class is not just about Russian." Liu ZhiKuan's tone was also more polite. If nothing else, he has a higher military rank than him.
Xu Peng Fei sat down and immediately curled his lips in disdain. Wasn't it because his military rank was higher than theirs? As for being so polite? Why were you so rude to me just now?
He hadn't thought about it, but when he spoke, he wasn't polite at all.
"Teacher Liu, my memory is relatively good, and I can basically speak all the major languages in the world." Jiang Yan Hai nodded.
Jiang Yan Hai's words made Liu ZhiKuan stunned for a moment. He glanced at Jiang Yan Hai in a strange way. You are bragging. What do you mean you know almost all languages? Do you know how many languages there are in the world?
"Language learning requires certain skills. Good memory does not necessarily mean you can learn a language well." Liu ZhiKuan couldn't help but reply.
Jiang Yan Hai smiled, "If the memory is good enough, it is actually very simple. Let's take the most difficult language in the world, which is our Chinese. It only has thousands of commonly used Chinese characters and their corresponding meanings. At most, add thousands of commonly used idioms and their corresponding meanings. If you memorize them all, there will basically be no problem."
"Of course, foreign languages are simpler. Whether it is English or other languages, they rely more on letters, so as long as they memorize all their languages, it is not difficult to learn."
Liu ZhiKuan: "..."
The other students were also completely speechless. What the hell is this called simple?
Thousands of commonly used Chinese characters and their corresponding meanings? Plus the corresponding meanings of thousands of commonly used idioms? What you said is really simple.
But looking at Jiang Yan Hai's confident face, Liu ZhiKuan did not directly diss Jiang Yan Hai like he did with Xu Peng Fei, but said, "Then if you don't mind, I will test you directly?"
With this sentence, the other party has switched to proficient Japanese and Kanto.
"Of course, no problem." Jiang Yan Hai answered simply, also in Guandong. Next, Jiang Yan Hai and Liu ZhiKuan started a conversation directly.
The two people used Japanese, American English, British English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian... It has to be said that Liu ZhiKuan is obviously extremely talented in language. He can also speak Korean and Arabic, although he is obviously not very proficient in these two languages.
But Jiang Yan Hai is very proficient. As for how many languages Jiang Yan Hai knows, don't ask, even he doesn't know.
In fact, language learning is very simple for talented people. The same language family has many similarities. For example, the Sino-Tibetan language family contains multiple languages, all of which have similarities.
Although there is no way to determine the level of proficiency of the other party in daily conversations, the proficiency of daily conversations allows people who are proficient in the language to understand whether the other party is really proficient or is pretending.
After a conversation, Liu ZhiKuan knew that unlike the newbie called Xu Peng Fei, Jiang Yan Hai was really damn proficient! When people are having a conversation, Liu ZhiKuan can't even feel that the other party is a China person, as if he is talking to a foreigner.
Especially in daily language, when foreigners speak some of their local languages, some words will be simplified. And Jiang Yan Hai can even master these. You can imagine how proficient the other party is in controlling these languages.
The other people in the class were looking at the two people as if they were looking at gods...
