What s it like to not understand your own dialect?

The experience is that the whole time I was thinking: What are they talking about? What did you say again? Why are you laughing? What's wrong again? Yes? Did you talk to me? The inner drama is rich, and the expression is in a state of confusion unchanged throughout the whole process.

Completely out of the way, completely unwanted and completely ignored what they were saying. I have been abroad for several years, and when I am with good friends, I can say anything without regard to it, because foreigners can't understand it.

Even if you're in a county. Henan, Northeast Sichuan, Chongqing, Shaanxi, Shanxi, parts of Hunan, and parts of Hubei are likely to insist on communicating in dialects, and the reasons I have seen them are not only very easy to understand, but also that they simply disdain to speak, Henan, I am talking about you.

I heard a voice on the way to school that was very familiar, and when I looked back, I saw that it was the classmates who said **, and I was stunned, Niu Ah was very fluent in Japanese, and then I realized that people were playing in dialects**.

It depends. Generally not, but to help the other person get used to the dialect as soon as possible. It is an act of good faith and refuses to be labeled with preconceived notions.

When I went to college in Xiamen, they spoke Hokkien there, and every time my roommate called **, I couldn't understand a sentence from beginning to end. But I speak the Qingdao dialect, and they can understand it from beginning to end.

After class, I went back to the dormitory and walked with two roommates, one from Guangdong and one from Hunan. Both of them are fighting with their families. I felt like I was walking with two foreigners.

Some people can understand the dialect but can't speak it, this is because they have not lived in this dialect area since they were children, and later they have developed their original accent in this dialect area. But because he has more contact, he can understand the local dialect of Hu Qiaoshu. The crest of the pants.

Naturally, your ability to express yourself can't keep up with your ability to understand, that is, there is no problem in listening, but it's another thing to speak, and there are many such people around you.

Many people were born and grew up in standard Mandarin, but when they return to their hometown, most of them speak dialectsWhat should I do if I can't understand the dialect of my hometown?

HometownDialects are actually very useful and represent the culture of our homelandBut now many children are ignorant of dialects, and if this phenomenon continues, it may be a few hundred years before no one can speak dialects.

--The best way to not understand a dialect is to learn it.

If you plan to communicate with relatives in your hometown or plan to settle in your hometown for a long time, it is recommended to learn dialectsOtherwise, it's embarrassing to not understand what others are saying all the time.

If it's to communicate with relatives back home, you can let your parents talk to you in dialect all the time at homeThis is the best and fastest way to improve in the short term.

If it's for long-term settlementParents can be allowed to do a special instruction, or collect information on the Internet, listen more and learn moreIf you really can't do it, go to a special language learning class.

But in fact, the learning of dialects is very simple, basically after a few months of communication with parents, you will learn the skinLearning the fur is basically the level to which it can be used.

--The language is actually very charming, each region has its own local language characteristics, some intonations are very good, such as southern accents, and some intonations are very earthy, butIt is precisely because of these differences that they constitute differences and characteristicsRespect the language and culture of each place, and you can learn more if you are interested.

Not being able to understand the dialect also reflects a very serious cultural bias, because most of the first- and second-tier cities communicate in MandarinThe teaching is also biased towards Mandarin teaching, ignoring the charm of traditional languages.

History is eternal because it is remembered, and the spirit is immortalized because of inheritance.

Chinese culture is broad and profound, and the charm contained in words also needs to be inherited and disseminated.

There are so many hidden ancient books that may not be difficult to know in the past, or the world may change in different languages, or the dialects may be different.

The dialects of each place are very different, some places are very different from the dialects of thousands of miles, and some places are very similar to the dialects of thousands of miles away, I can't understand the dialect of my hometown, this is not a big problem, you have to learn to find the problem and solve the problem by yourself, the following is my little opinion! May you see it.

First, communicate in Mandarin for the time being, express what you mean, and at the same time let the other person understand what you mean.

In the case that I am too good at speaking the dialect of my hometown, I can't help but speak, I can use Mandarin first, and the elders can also understand it, so although I haven't practiced the dialect, it is fortunate that the communication problem is solved.

As far as I can say personally, I just got home from school, and I don't feel like I know how to speak dialects anymore.

Second, learn to accept tongues and not resist speaking them.

Some people may think that speaking dialects sounds weird, and some people feel that the dialect of their hometown is not good, and will resist speaking dialects, in fact, the dialect of each place is a major feature of their hometown, and some dialects sound interesting, like I think Chongqing dialect will be very interesting.

When you are in your hometown, don't be afraid of non-standard pronunciation, don't be afraid of being ridiculed, people in your hometown are very kind and welcoming, you have to say it boldly, take the first step bravely, you will find that it is not so difficult.

Finally, listen more, watch more, and talk more.

Listen to what others say, whether you have understood the dialect, look more at what others are doing, see if you understand the content of the dialect he speaks, and at the same time speak more tongues yourself, only by saying it, you will find that you are wrong, right, it is beneficial for you to correct.

You can start with the people you know best, learn more, practice more, and correct more, so that you are not far from success!

Mandarin is a glass of water, while dialect is more like a mother's own soup, mellow and thick; Mandarin is a rule, and dialect is nostalgia, the idea of a wanderer!

Cantonese is the language code of people in other places.

Chongqing dialect is the spirit of the people in the rivers and lakes.

Wu Nong's soft words are the gentleness of the children of Jiangnan.

Hello and nice to you.

If you can't understand the dialect of your hometown, you should learn more, understand your hometown, and integrate into your hometown. Let me give you some of my own insights based on my own experience.

First, to learn the dialect of your hometown, you must first have confidence in yourself, and then let your family guide you more. Our family is in Guangxi, a village of people are Zhuang, the family speaks Zhuang, I have been working with my parents when I was a child, I have not lived in my hometown, I don't know how to speak my hometown dialect and I can't understand the Zhuang words they say, and then when I go home for the New Year, those relatives say that I don't even know what my hometown dialect is, and others scold you for not knowing anything, and you want to sell me or something, just joking to scare me, and I say so every year when I go back. Later, I also felt that it was necessary to learn the hometown dialect after all, so I asked my parents to teach me more and tell me the hometown dialect at home.

But Zhuang dialect is not like Cantonese, I personally think that Cantonese and Mandarin have a little in common in tone, but Zhuang dialect has complex tones and diverse grammar, and I think it is even more difficult to learn than English. By now, I'm a bit basic, at least I can understand my family's dialect, but it will take some opportunity to speak fluently.

Second, practice makes perfect, open your mouth to communicate with the locals in your hometown, learn dialects and get acquainted with relatives and neighbors, and increase your understanding of your hometown. The best way to learn a language is to live in such an environment and deepen your understanding through daily practice through immersion. For example, when you go out to buy vegetables and communicate with local residents in dialect, you can learn the dialect names of different foods, and you can also know some sentences about **.

When you go grocery shopping often, and when you can name a dish when you see it, it's a sign that you have these words imprinted in your mind. You can also often go to relatives, neighbors' houses, stop on the road to say a few words, chatter, after a period of time, not only the dialect has become better, and the relationship with the neighborhood has also improved.

Third, where there is a will, there is a way, learning a language cannot be achieved overnight, you need to insist on practicing for a period of time, accumulate over time, consolidate and improve, and finally keep the clouds open and see the moon. When studying, correct your pronunciation more, reflect more, think about whether there is a better way to learn more, if you give up because you find it difficult to learn, then you must learn to persevere. Those who fish for three days and dry nets for two days can only learn a little understanding, and they still have to be down-to-earth in learning.

If you are too shy to speak in tongues, you need to pass the psychological level, don't be afraid of other people's jokes, speak out bravely, and if you don't understand, you can let the other party speak slowly. Who is born to say it, it needs a process. Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, don't be shy, speak up, and when you can feel progress, success is not far away.

Personal experience

When I first arrived in Chongqing, I couldn't understand a word of the communication between the people next to me when I got off the train. I'll tell you a secret, I don't dare to take a taxi in Chongqing alone, because most of the drivers speak in the Chongqing dialect, and it will be very troublesome to communicate. However, in Chongqing, a three-dimensional labyrinth-like city, it is inevitable to ask strangers for directions, and after a long time, plus my roommates are all local, I am naturally familiar.

Chinese culture is broad and profound, and even the dialects are divided into eight major dialects, namely the northern dialect, the Wu dialect, the Jiangxi dialect, the northern Fujian dialect, the Hunan dialect, the Hakka dialect, the southern Fujian dialect, and the Cantonese dialect. However, some friends have been speaking Mandarin because they have lived in the city since they were children, and they can't understand the dialect of their hometown when they return to their hometown, and they don't know how to communicate with others, so they have anxiety. Here are my tips for quickly learning the dialect of my hometown.

Take the initiative to communicate and learn from others

Take the initiative to go out and communicate with the locals, especially when you go to the vegetable market and other trading scenes, chat with them in various ways, substitute them for their life scenes, you can roughly guess what they are talking about, repeat it a few times, and you will know what some common words mean. If you really can't learn how to speak, you can understand it, and it would be good to use Mandarin when you speak.

Be bold and speak in tongues

If you want to learn a dialect, you have to open your mouth more to practice, otherwise it will only be a dumb dialect, so you must practice speaking more, speak boldly, and say shamelessly, after all, no one will ever come. The dialect of the older generation in the village is very authentic, and you can communicate with them more, listen more, and speak more.

Watch more local TV stations

Many local TV stations have dialect programs, and the dialect itself has the characteristics of vividness, conciseness, and image, with strong artistic charm and appeal, and also gives people a sense of intimacy, so this kind of program is also liked by many locals. If you watch more of these dialect programs, you can feel the charm of the language more vividly, and you will not feel bored, and you will learn faster.

Listen to local radio

Local radio is also one of the tools to learn the dialect of your hometown, you can go to the Internet to check what the local radio FM is, listen to the local radio with headphones when driving or in your free time, just like listening to English listening.

Summary: China is a multi-ethnic and multi-dialect populous country, and the popularization of Mandarin can make everyone's communication more fluent and improve everyone's cohesion. While promoting Mandarin, we should also protect our dialects, dialects are living fossils of culture, if not protected, many local cultures will disappear, we should take a more open and inclusive attitude towards dialects.

As a younger generation, we should strive to learn the dialect of our hometown and inherit the traditional culture of our country.
