Meng Shaoyuan saw his Japanese teacher for the first time.

Actually, it's a Japanese woman in a kimono!

Twenty-five or sixteen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, as soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan, he immediately bowed slightly: "Hello, I am Yuri Ai Yamashita, from now on, I will be your Japanese teacher." ”

Yuri Yamashita Ai?

Japanese woman?

Meng Shaoyuan was a little dazed.

"Ms. Yamashita graduated from Tokyo Imperial University with a major in languages, and has lived in China for a while, so she is fluent in Chinese." He Ruyi smiled and said, "Xiao Meng, let's learn Japanese with Miss Yamashita." I have given Miss Yamashita a special right to inflict any form of corporal punishment on you when you are unable to learn. ”

Belch.

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly had an evil thought in his heart.

Any form of corporal punishment? What's included?

"So, Miss Yamashita, please."

He Ruyi said and left.

"Mr. Meng, let's start too, and in the three hours from now, I hope you can learn as much Japanese as you can."

Yuri Yamashita didn't delay for a moment.

She first had some long-arranged conversations with Meng Shaoyuan in Japanese.

Meng Shaoyuan knew Japanese, but he was by no means as proficient as his English, especially under Yamashita Yuriai's somewhat difficult questions, which seemed somewhat stumbling.

Yuria Yamashita seemed to be quite satisfied with this test: "Mr. Meng, your Japanese skills have greatly exceeded my imagination. So, do you know the difference between accents in various places in Japanese? For example, what is the difference between Osaka and Tokyo? ”

Distinguish?

It's similar to the local dialect in Chinese, right?

Yuria Yamashita didn't need the other party to answer anything: "In Japan, the accent varies greatly from place to place, and even if you are proficient in Japanese, if you can't distinguish the accent of these places, then when you meet a real Japanese person, they will immediately find out that you are a foreigner." ”

Well? And this statement?

Meng Shaoyuan remembered seeing it in movies and television, but as long as the Chinese put on makeup and said two words of "yo xi", the Japanese would believe that they really thought it was their own?

"Why is this happening? Because there are many Japanese dialects, there are differences in the morphology of the modal language, but it is not so difficult to understand. Except for those who are professionally engaged in acting, everyone else mainly speaks in tongues. ”

Yamashita is explained in great detail by Riai:

"Japanese dialects can be roughly divided into Kanto dialect and Kansai dialect, and Kansai has a long history as a political and cultural center in ancient Japan, and they still have a strong sense of pride. The so-called Kansai pronunciation in Japan refers almost exclusively to the dialect centered on Osaka.

So, I'm mainly going to teach you the Kansai accent.

In the Kansai dialect, Osaka people are rude, speak loudly with an accent, love to complain, and are uneducated. And the Kyoto accent, which is also a Kansai accent, is arrogant, conservative, and narrow-minded, feeling that he is all from the countryside outside of Kansai, but in Kansai he looks down on other places in Kansai, and some even look down on Tokyo, and speak very sourly.

Mr. Meng, from now on, you will focus on learning the Kyoto dialect. ”

Meng Shaoyuan's hearing was an eye-opener.

I didn't expect there to be so much attention to in the Japanese language.

It's not all.

The Japanese love to fight each other.

Not to mention the apparently fiery rivalry between Osaka and Tokyo, Kanto and Kansai, and even the discrimination between the various wards of Tokyo is already in a state of dire straits, and each ward is vying to be the boss of Tokyo, and it can be said that no ward is a fuel-efficient lamp.

Yuria Yamashita is really a very competent teacher.

Little by little, she told Meng Shaoyuan in detail the key points of the pronunciation of the original Kyoto dialect, some little secrets that are not known to outsiders, and even the gestures when speaking are very careful.

Meng Shaoyuan also studied very hard.

If you have mastered the art of speaking and pronunciation, it will definitely come in handy in the future.

Fortunately, Meng Shao had a basic knowledge of Japanese and did not have to learn it from scratch.

He also understood very quickly, in the words of his own time, the Japanese Tokyo dialect is actually equivalent to Mandarin in Chinese.

However, most Japanese people prefer to speak in their own dialect.

After teaching for more than two hours, Meng Shaoyuan's progress is still very fast, especially in some details, Yamashita Yuriai patiently told him what went wrong, and what was wrong when he heard it.

Yamashita Yuriai looked at the time: "Mr. Meng, there is still an hour, let's have a simple conversation again, can you think it?" ”

"Absolutely."

Meng Shaoyuan, who had mastered some fur, was eager to try.

"Then, let's treat it as if we were classmates in the past and met by chance on the road."

Yamashita Yuri Ai made Meng Shaoyuan stand up:

"So, let's get started now. Ah, isn't this Shao Yuan-kun? ”

"It's Yuri Yamashita, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"What are you doing now?"

"I'm doing some business."

"No, Mr. Meng, you shouldn't have answered that." Yuria Yamashita paused: "In Japan, you can't simply say that you are doing business, but you should say the specific company you work for, and your tone is too peaceful, as I said, the biggest characteristic of the Kyoto accent is the arrogance when you speak."

Imagine that I am a housewife, and you, who have a successful career, have not seen each other for so many years, you should try to give full play to your sense of superiority, especially in front of me, a housewife. You can make your voice a little heavier, but not too loud like Osaka, and show that you have a sense of superiority, but you have to pretend to be very low-key. ”

Meng Shaoyuan understood at once.

In my own time, when old classmates reunited, wasn't that like that?

In a nutshell, it can be summed up in two words:

Load X!

That's what it means, right?

Therefore, in the new rehearsal, although Meng Shaoyuan's Japanese is far from being proficient, the arrogance in his voice and tone has been fully learned.

Yuri Yamashita was obviously satisfied with her student, and the three hours passed in a flash, and she smiled and said:

"Mr. Meng, you learn very quickly, and you have mastered some basic grammar very well, especially your pronunciation and facial expressions, if you can master Japanese more fully, I will think that you are really a Kyoto person."

Well, to be able to have a proficient conversation without flaws, it is not something that can be done in a day or two.

In three months, I hope to be able to do that.

"That's all for today, then."

"Thank you, teacher."

"Mr. Meng, you forgot to bow. This is the most basic etiquette between Japanese people. ”

Belch.

All right.

Meng Shaoyuan still bowed respectfully.

Isn't there an old saying in China, one day is a teacher, and one life is a father?

No, it's for motherhood?

Such a beautiful girl, don't be a "mother".
