標題:在香港的外國人
正文:現在越來越多的外國人來到香港求學,除了看中香港城市建設好,設施齊全外,還對香港溫和的天氣情有獨鐘。到香港讀書也漸漸成為過外國人除了讀本土大學外的一個不錯的選擇。外國人富有熱情,積極主動,香港的城市氛圍也比較國際化,按道理說外國人要適應不是難題,但是也還是要做好萬全的准備,才能應對各種棘手的問題。外國人留學香港語言就是一個大問題。
流利英語,生活無憂
在香港,英語的教育十分成熟,據統計,在香港的語言使用率排名何總,英語居於亞軍。雖然外國人不會講粵語,但是講英語也可以讓你解決最基礎的溝通問題。香港的大學基本上都是全英語教學,甚至連書本也都是全英文撰寫,因此香港人英語都很好,英語甚至成為香港僅次於粵語外,最常用的語言。
掌握粵語,社交達人
雖然使用英語在香港可以解決最基本的一些交流問題,但是香港最主要使用的語言還是粵語。特別是一些老人家,不會講英語,隻會說粵語,如果需要在香港留學,不學會粵語,也是個很棘手的事情。因此,要想跟香港人交流,學會粵語是必不可少,不可或缺的。
比如,你需要去租房子,如果你不懂粵語,業主也不懂英語,那你們之間交流就會存在障礙,很有可能會發生一些語言上的誤會。之前一個外國留學生在香港租房子,由於他和粵語溝通有問題,兩人理解錯了雙方的意思,后面就產生了合同糾紛。再或者你需要去一些香港的政府機構,如果不懂粵語,可能會產生一些麻煩。
語言是人類交流的主要工具,香港人之間交流都習慣用粵語,如果你不懂粵語,是很難融入本地人的生活圈子的。
學習粵語,掌握方法
粵語作為一種地方方言,學習的難度並不低,但是當你在香港這個人人講粵語的大環境生活,學習粵語的難度就會降低,但是還是要講求系統的方法。首先,你可以讓你的香港朋友教你,這樣你就會有一個最好的語言老師,這樣教出來的粵語也比較正規。其次,你可以多看香港電視劇,反復學習他們講話的語調和方式,亞洲天后王菲當初剛到香港時,也是靠這個方法學會粵語的。第三,你一定要多說,如果你隻聽隻看卻不說,那麼一切都隻會是徒勞的。不要怕丑,學任何語言都是需要多說多練,隻有這樣才能更好更快的學會粵語,融入當地人的生活。
