在菲律賓安吉利斯有這樣一群可愛的學(xué)生他們熱愛漢語，喜愛中國文化當(dāng)興趣點(diǎn)燃?jí)粝胨麄冇米蠲赖母杪暢鰧?duì)中文的喜愛

In Angeles， the PhilippinesThere is such a group of lovely studentsThey love Chinese language and Chinese cultureWhen interest ignites their dreamsThey sing their love of Chinese language loudly with a most melodious song

2018年8月，由全菲公立中學(xué)選拔出來的三十名優(yōu)秀學(xué)生在孔子學(xué)院獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金的支持下，開始了在菲律賓紅溪禮示大學(xué)孔子學(xué)院的漢語學(xué)習(xí)生活。這是紅溪禮示大學(xué)孔院漢語師范專業(yè)的第四批學(xué)生，他們大多數(shù)是零基礎(chǔ)的漢語學(xué)習(xí)者，也有些在中學(xué)課程中接觸過一些基礎(chǔ)漢語。他們將同時(shí)學(xué)習(xí)漢語師范與英語師范雙專業(yè)的課程，畢業(yè)后，學(xué)生們會(huì)回到家鄉(xiāng)的公立中學(xué)，成為本土漢語老師，為漢語教學(xué)與推廣貢獻(xiàn)自己的一份力量。

喜愛是他們學(xué)習(xí)漢語的動(dòng)力

安笑然是孔院漢語師范專業(yè)的大一新生，前不久，學(xué)習(xí)漢語八個(gè)月的她剛剛高分通過了HSK三級(jí)考試，正為兩個(gè)月后的HSK四級(jí)考試做準(zhǔn)備。通過HSK四級(jí)考試后，他們就可以前往中國學(xué)習(xí)一年，為此每個(gè)人都十分努力。

對(duì)于初學(xué)者而言，聲調(diào)、語法、漢字，漢語學(xué)習(xí)中的每個(gè)部分都是不小的難題，但好在選擇這個(gè)專業(yè)的學(xué)生都或大或小懷著一個(gè)與漢語有關(guān)的夢(mèng)想，這份喜愛就成為了他們的動(dòng)力。

安笑然對(duì)漢語的熱愛來源于中文歌曲。和大多數(shù)菲律賓學(xué)生不同，平日里她偏愛的就是悠揚(yáng)抒情的中國風(fēng)音樂，在自學(xué)歌曲的過程中，她對(duì)漢語的興趣也越來越濃厚。去年“孔子學(xué)院日”的中文歌曲比賽上，她用一首《綰青絲》打動(dòng)了在場(chǎng)的觀眾。

“希望能有更多人聽見我們的歌聲”

當(dāng)接到孔子學(xué)院總部短視頻拍攝邀請(qǐng)時(shí)，安笑然和她的同學(xué)們很快決定報(bào)名參加。剛聽完歌曲，學(xué)生們就愛上了歌中婉轉(zhuǎn)的曲調(diào)，迫不及待想要學(xué)習(xí)。但問題也隨之而來：歌詞中大量運(yùn)用了李清照《如夢(mèng)令》的原詞。

如何讓這些初學(xué)漢語的孩子們理解歌詞、理解古詩詞中的含義，成了一個(gè)大難題。志愿者老師姜雪雪打印好歌詞，專門找了課后的時(shí)間，給學(xué)生們一個(gè)詞一個(gè)詞糾音，一句句解釋歌詞背景與含義。雖然學(xué)生們尚不能完全通過漢語體會(huì)詩人的心境，但隨著老師的講解，學(xué)生們仿佛回到了那個(gè)暮春的夜晚，見到了風(fēng)雨中的海棠花。

學(xué)生們上午有教育學(xué)院的英文課程，下午要上孔子學(xué)院的中文課程，時(shí)間排得滿滿當(dāng)當(dāng)，每天還有各種報(bào)告和作業(yè)，往往要學(xué)習(xí)到晚上十二點(diǎn)。但這并不妨礙他們抓緊課程的間隙練習(xí)歌曲：羅煦熱愛音樂，擅長(zhǎng)鋼琴，就承擔(dān)起了歌曲的編排工作，傅琴鳴會(huì)彈吉他，就主動(dòng)給大家伴奏。雖然只是短短幾分鐘的歌曲，要做的事情可不少：背歌詞、分聲部、排和聲。他們都不是音樂專業(yè)的學(xué)生，難免要遇到些小波折。和聲找不好音準(zhǔn)，就用手機(jī)上的調(diào)音軟件一句句校正，歌詞記不住，就打印出來抓緊下課時(shí)間背。主歌部分原本安排安笑然和羅煦領(lǐng)唱，后來學(xué)生們告訴老師：“我們是一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)，我們希望每個(gè)人都有機(jī)會(huì)獨(dú)唱。”于是主歌部分又拆分成每人一句歌詞。三天時(shí)間，學(xué)生們利用拼湊出的空檔時(shí)間，順利學(xué)好了歌曲。

正是因?yàn)閷W(xué)生和老師們共同的努力，錄音的過程格外順利，錄制了兩遍，補(bǔ)錄了部分鏡頭便順利結(jié)束。學(xué)生們圍著電腦看著錄制的成品，也十分滿意。

視頻發(fā)布在孔子學(xué)院抖音賬號(hào)上，得到了網(wǎng)友們鼓勵(lì)和贊賞，學(xué)生們都非常興奮：“老師，我們喜歡中國的歌曲，希望能有更多人聽見我們的歌聲。”

暑假過后，這群孩子們就要啟程前往福建師范大學(xué)開始為期一年的沉浸式學(xué)習(xí)，當(dāng)問起他們對(duì)此行有何期待，每個(gè)人都有自己的答案。

安笑然想要學(xué)習(xí)更多的中文歌曲，并且真正理解歌詞的含義。羅煦最大的愿望就是要吃遍中國的美食。當(dāng)然，他們更想要利用這難得的一年留學(xué)生活，好好學(xué)習(xí)漢語。傅琴鳴還給自己定了個(gè)小目標(biāo)，要在HSK五級(jí)考試上取得好成績(jī)。

愿他們心懷夢(mèng)想，帶著對(duì)漢語與中國文化的熱愛，勇敢前行，初心依舊，順利學(xué)成歸來。

In August 2018， 30 0utstanding students selected by public high schoolsin the Philippines began their study of Chinese language at the ConfuciusInstitute at Angeles University Foundation with the support of the ConfuciusInstitute Scholarship. This is the fourth batch of students majoring in Chineselanguage teaching in the Confucius Institute at Angeles University Foundationand most of them have no foundation in Chinese language learning before.Only some of them have learned some basics of Chinese language in mid-dle school. They will study Chinese language teaching and English languageteaching at the same time. After graduation， these students will return to thepublic schools in their hometown to serve as local Chinese teachers and con-tribute their due bit to Chinese language teaching and promotion. Love Drives Them to Learn Chinese

An Xiaoran is a fresher majoring in Chineselanguage teaching at the Confucius Institute.Not long ago， she had just passed the Level 3HSK examination after eight-month Chineselanguage learning. Currently， she is preparingfor the Level 4 HSK examination due in twomonths. After passing it， they can go to Chinato study for one year， so everyone works veryhard.

For beginners， tones， grammar， Chinesecharacters and every part of Chinese languagelearning can pose diffcukies and problems.Luckily， for students who choose this majorto study， they all embrace a dream related toChinese， either grand or trivial. Therefore， lovebecomes a driving force for them to learn. An Xiaoran's love for Chinese derived fromChinese songs. Unlike most Filipino students，she usually prefers to listen to melodiousChinese-style music. In the process of learningsongs， her interest in Chinese becomes evenstronger. At the \"Confucius Institute Day\" Chi-nese Song Competition last year， she impressedand moved the audience with a song \"Twiningthe Black Hair\".

I Hope More People can Hear Our Songs

When receiving an invitation from the ConfuciusInstitute Headquarters to join in the short videoshooting， An Xiaoran and her classmates decidedto sign up without any hesitation. After listening tothe songs， the students all fell in love with the tuneof the song and couldn't wait to learn. But a prob-lem was on its way： the lyrics has adopted a lot ofthe original words of Li Qingzhao's A Tune Like aDream.

How to make these students， Chinese languagebeginners， understand the lyrics and the connota-tions of the ancient poetry has become a big prob-lem. A volunteer teacher Jiang Xuexue printed thelyrics and specially spared some time after class tocorrect their pronunciation word by word and ex-plain the background and meanings of the lyrics sen-tence by sentence. Although the students still cannotfully understand the poet's thoughts then throughChinese language， they seem to go back to the nightof the late spring and witnessed the begonias in thewind and rain with the teacher's explanation.

The students have English courses at the Schoolof Educarion in the morning and Chinese courses atthe Confucius Institute in the afternoon. The timeis fully preoccupied and there are various reportsand assignments every day. They often learn untilmidnight. But this does not impede them frompracticing the songs in the gap between the courses：Luo Xu loves music and is good at piano， so he takesup the arrangement of the songs. Fu Qinming canplay guitar， so she is assigned to arrange the song.Although this song is just a few minutes， there are somany things to do： memorizing the lyrics， separatingdifferent parts and practicing the chord and soundrepetitively All of them are not students of musicmajors so it is inevitable for them to encounter sometwists and turns. Whenever they can't find the pitch，they will employ the tuning software on the mobilephone to correct sentence by sentence. When thelyrics can't be memorized well， they printed it outand tried to keep in mind with the time after class.The main part of the song was originally undertakenby An Xiaoran and Luo Xu ro be the leading sing-ers. Yet later， the students told the teacher， \"We area team and we hope everyone has the opportunityro do the solo.\" Then the lyrics of the main part wassplit into sentences for each person to sing. In threedays， the students utilized the piecemeal time topractice together and successfully learned this Chi-nese song.

It was because of the joint efforts of the stu-dents and teachers that the recording process wasexceptionally smooth. After recording for twiceand re-taking some of the shots， it was successfullycompleted. The students all looked at the finishedfilm around the computer and they were fairlysatisfied as well.

After the video was posted on the ConfuciusInstitute's Douyin account， it has won encourage-ment and praises. The students were very excited：\"Miss！ we like Chinese songs so much and hopemore people can hear our songs.\"

After the summer vacation， these children willleave for Fujian Normal University to start a one-year immersive learning. When asked about theirexpectations， everyone has their own answers.

An Xiaoran would like to learn more Chinesesongs and understand the connotation of thelyrics. Luo Xu's greatest wish is to taste all theChinese food. Of course， they also aspire to takeadvantage of this hard-won one-year study abroadto learn Chinese language well. Fu Qinming alsoset a tiny goal： to achieve good results in the Level5 HSK examination.

May they all have a dream in their heart andbravely stride forward with love of Chinese lan-guage and Chinese culture. If their heart alwaysremains the same， they will come back with aca-demic success.
