After Japan -South Korea relations recovered, Japan immediately blown Ha Han Feng, and even the trend of foreign language learning turned.According to the data released by foreign language candidates a few days ago, the number of people learning Korean overtake Chinese.In Japan, Chinese is called "Beijing", so this phenomenon is also described as "getting out of North to Korea."
According to Nikkei News, there were 40,957 candidates from the Topik Examination (Topik), which was twice as many as five years ago, a record high.The number of candidates in the Chinese level test (HSK) is only 39,219.
In addition to the compulsory English of Japanese universities, students can also take the second foreign language.According to statistics from the Ministry of Education of Japan, there are 466 universities currently providing Korean courses, an increase of 37 from 2008.Some women's universities also ushered in full -time Korean teachers and set up Korean cultural theme courses.
Many universities also actively establish a partnership with Korean universities to allow students to study in South Korea in the future.
Investigation data from the Korean Embassy in Japan showed that 90%of Japanese candidates who received Korean appraisal were women.From the perspective of age, more than half of people in their 20s.According to reports of the Nikkei, the Japanese who learn Korean and Chinese are different. Most of the Chinese people study in business, and those who learn Korean are more because of "love Korean flow".
A 21 -year -old college student told me that because she likes Korean pop music groups, she has studied Korean from July, and she is not tired for five hours a day.Ask her where this rushing came from, she brightened her eyes and said, "Because I want to directly understand the language of idols and want to communicate directly with them."
Wen Zhenying, who has been teaching Korean for many years in Japan, often use Korean dramas as a textbook.She shared: "In the past, the Korean textbooks of Japanese institutions were mostly taught by rigid methods such as Korean history and culture. Japanese people learn Chinese and do not love hard things.
Although the number of people learning Chinese seems to be surpassed by Korean, it does not mean that Chinese loses its charm in Japan.In the late 1980s, Suzuki Ryoko, who was studying Chinese alone in Beijing, said: "There are more reasons for Japanese people to learn Chinese. Some people are for academics and some people do business with China. Some people are for hobbies.Such as learning calligraphy, feng shui, etc., there are some that I hope to understand the origin of Japanese culture. There are hundreds of reasons for Japanese people to learn Chinese. "
However, learning Chinese also involves political issues.The Confucius Institute is an institution established overseas and spreading Chinese language and culture overseas. As European and American questioned its political intent, the Japanese Cabinet Conference also proposed to thoroughly investigate the situation of the Confucius Institute in Japan in the middle of this year.It will take appropriate actions. "
The recent "Taiwan Chinese" in Japan has also been regarded as a new style of "North Beibei".Following the social platform of Chinese learning, many posts discussing different posts discussing "Taiwanese Chinese" and "Mandarin", compared with simplified and traditional characters, etc., and even the differences in words in the two places have also aroused heated discussion.
Some Japanese posted: "I have studied Mandarin for three years. I found that in Taiwan, I found that it was different from writing, usage, and pronunciation."
In the language world, there is no you who are strong and weak, and even refuse to hurt and breath with language.Learn more languages in order to broaden the good fate, put the ears, and listen to different voices.Japan is a single language society. It is a good thing that people can understand the language of neighboring countries, and I hope to open up communication channels with expensive and expensive.
