爬格子,學中文,教華語

我想,家庭教育真的非常重要吧!自小,爸媽對我的教育就很重視.讓我學了不少東西,雖然玩樂的時間看似比其他小朋友少了不少,在年少時也曾埋怨過,不過,現在想起來,還多虧了當時父母的堅持才有今日這樣的我吧!

基於小舅媽是中文老師的緣故,我自小就有許多故事書可以看,也會有人講故事給我聽.也許是獨生女的關係,我也挺會自己玩角色伴演的遊戲,自言自語的功夫更是不差.從小對文學這東西就有高度的喜愛.作文更是我的拿手科目之一.或因為如此,對中文我一直都很有興趣吧!平時也喜歡爬格子,夢想著說不定有那麼一天我也可以成為作家.

國高中時那跟老婆婆的裹腳布一樣長的八股文,唐詩,宋詞,元曲都曾是我的最愛.在古人的世界裡編織著不同的夢.上了大學還曾一度想轉學到中文系.只是,還是放不下我當時最愛的廣播.不過我倒是選修了不少和文學有關的課.我想,如果有機會,我會想在中文這領域再進修的.

出國後,說真的,中文退步不少.而以中文為母語的我,也不以為中文有多難,一直到我自己開始教小朋友中文.才發現中文一點都不比英文或其他語言簡單.對外國人而言,我們隨便三兩下就能寫好的中文字更是藝術中的藝術.

從來都沒有認真的想過要教華語,一直以來教華語都只是一種附加機會或打工,雖然我也很樂在其中.一直到最近,我很認真的在想這個問題.對教學一直都很有興趣的我,希望自己能提昇教華語的能力.讓更多人認同華語,畢竟這將是21世紀的一大趨勢.

我已經教華語數年了,直到現在才明白自己對華語的喜愛比我想像得深.或許吧!身為台灣人,身為繁體字的擁護者.我們都應該對我們的文化自豪. 華語教學需要有熱忱的新血,更重要的是對中文的興趣和敏感度.我期許自己能不斷努力.

My 2nd visit to Czech Republic with friends.浪漫捷克行

Firework in Prague.

Wowowow....this is my 2nd visit to Czech Republic since 1999. However, I travelled with 2 friends (Justine and Tingting) from Taiwan this time. I only had the chance to look at the beautiful capital--Prague last time, but we planned to travel around as many parts of Czech Republic as possible this time. Our daily plan is listed below...

6/Sep/2005 Prague Old town area and enjoy the puppet show of Don Giovanni.

7/Sep/2005 Prague Castle area and river cruise with Jazz boat.

8/Sep/2005 Kutna Hora and Kolin.

9/Sep/2005 Prague Jewish Quartre, Old Town area and Folk Dance.

13/Sep/2005 Ceskr Krumlov.

14/Sep/2005 Ceske BudFjovice.

15/Sep/2005 Terein Concentration Camp.

It is a quite different travelling experience for me since I have been very used to travel around on my own that it is a bit not easy for me to cope with people at the very beginning. I am far to free and flexible while I am travelling but to some extents that I kind very concern about whether I could go and visit whatever I planned to. Travelling with friends is a quite nice experience indeed, however, I think that I shall be more compromise then.
