Now I'll give you a string of numbers: 38 42 7 1 9. Please read them out loud.
Then take your eyes off your phone and try to repeat these numbers. It should be easy, right But if you repeat them in English, it will be very difficult.
The reason is that the average pronunciation of each number in Chinese is only 25 milliseconds, while it takes 33 milliseconds in English, and some numbers are even longer. The short-term memory of the brain can be remembered for about the same time.
Besides, China figures are too regular. Repeat after 1- 10. You can count to 1 19, to 100, and you can count indefinitely. But look at English again, 165438. But twenty, counting will break the routine, which will directly lead to English-speaking children counting a few months later than Chinese-speaking children!
And people often use it to ridicule the mental arithmetic ability of Europeans and Americans. In fact, it is not that people are poor, but that China people have advantages. When you read Chinese 12+35, it corresponds to what you see on the paper. Of course, it's easy to forget, but if you want to "20 and 35", these ten people and places don't match!
So if Chinese is so good, why do so many people want to immigrate? In fact, in the same way, your culture will have a great influence on you, far beyond your imagination. Just as mathematics is the same for China people, western countries have the advantages of western countries, and China also has the advantages of China. Some people want to immigrate to Europe and change the living environment and concepts of the next generation. There is nothing wrong with this, but you must understand whether this is the culture you are pursuing. If your children abandon the traditional literary pleasure in China, can you accept it?
