介绍:
Brighton College is an independent secondary school in the South of England. In 2006, it became the first to make a putonghua (Chinese Mandarin) a compulsory foreign language. Pupils must also study French, Spanish and Latin. About another 100 schools in the UK offer putonghua as an optional subject.
It is a challenge for Westerners to learn putonghua. There is no alphabet, just thousands of characters, which can be difficult to learn. Secondly, the tonal system is hard for Westerners. The meaning of English words does not change with the tone you use, but this is not true for putonghua.
