大家雙十一剁手都剁得愉快嗎？已經收到了多少包裹呢？

總之，在大家的瘋狂剁手之下，天貓「雙十一」全天的成交額又破了紀錄：2135億元（約307億美元）！！！

Chinese shoppers snapped up a record $30.7 billion of merchandise Sunday through e-commerce giant Alibaba, in celebration of a recently invented holiday called Singles Day, China』s equivalent of the U.S.』 Black Friday.

咳咳，希望各位在下個月還賬單的時候，一切都好……

不過港真，在光棍節這一普天同慶的日子裡，就算是作為「雙十一編外人員」，也是可以看場「雙十一晚會」的嘛~

今年晚會還請到了超模米蘭達·可兒（Miranda Kerr）,女神在現場不斷比心，還唱了首中文歌~

Western celebrities including model Miranda Kerr were on hand to encourage the orgy of online consumerism. Kerr plugged her skincare line before attempting to sing a few bars of a popular Chinese song.

一首《玫瑰玫瑰我愛你》，讓網友們紛紛點贊可兒女神的中文發音標準↓↓↓

不過，據現場吃瓜群眾爆料，女神的那句「玫瑰玫瑰最艷麗，春夏開在枝頭上」原來是這麼唱出來的……

無獨有偶，話說當年「狼叔」休·傑克曼 (Hugh Jackman) 上節目唱《給我一個吻》的時候，也是這麼個畫風↓↓↓

這群歪果仁服務員早上6點起來學中文，用的也是同樣的注音大法↓↓↓

「支付寶」就這樣成為了歪果仁口中的cheerful ball，就連東北口音的「哎嘛，不好意思」(Emma Book How Yes) 也沒在怕的↓↓↓

總之，學習中文的歪果仁一定都有些必備的「黑話」↓↓↓

BUT，光會讀不行，還得會寫呀！於是，歪果仁朋友們的「漢字拆分法」和「繪畫聯想法」就應運而生了：

上下都是錢就很美呀~

「哈哈哈哈」就是一連串小房子↓↓↓

「哭」是一隻帶著眼鏡流淚的小狗↓↓↓

「奧」，是個身著鎧甲的武士↓↓↓

嗯，感覺這下歪果仁們也算是get到漢字的精髓了……

不少中國網友紛紛表示，這可不就是當年苦學英語的自己么（手動狗頭）！

而國外Wikihow 網站也整理了一份「歪果仁如何學習中文」的攻略，畫風都是那些年我們用來學習英語的方法↓↓↓

1. 找中國人練口語

Find a native speaker.

One of the best ways to improve your new language skills is to practice speaking with a native speaker. They will easily be able to correct any grammar or pronunciation mistakes you make and can introduce you to more informal or colloquial forms of speech that you won"t find in a textbook.

提高語言水平的最佳方式之一是與母語者練口語。他們很容易就能指出你所犯的語法或者發音錯誤，並且教會你一些課本上找不到的更加通俗的口語用語。

If you have a Mandarin-speaking friend who is willing to help, that"s great! If you can"t locate any Mandarin-speakers nearby, try QQ. It"s a chat tool popular in China, in there you can find many language learning groups/rooms, most people there are learning English. They will be glad to talk to you.

如果你有會說普通話的朋友願意幫忙，那簡直太棒了。如果你身邊沒有講普通話的人，那麼試試看QQ這款中國熱門聊天軟體吧~你會在裡面找到許多語言學習群/聊天室，裡面大多數人都在學英語。他們會很樂意與你交流。

2. 報班上課

Consider signing up for a language course.

If you need some extra motivation or feel you would learn better in a more formal setting, try signing up for a Chinese language course.

如果你需要一點額外的動力，或者覺得自己在更正式的環境下能學得更好，那麼試試看報班上中文課。

Look out for language courses advertised at local colleges, schools or community centers.

找找看當地高校、學校或者社區中心是否有推廣的語言課程。

3. 看中國電影和動畫片

Watch Chinese films and cartoons.

Get your hands on some Chinese DVDs (with subtitles) or watch Chinese cartoons online. This is an easy, entertaining way to get a feel for the sound and structure of the Mandarin Chinese language.

買些帶字幕的中國DVD或者在網上看中國動畫片。這是獲得中文語感的一種簡單又有趣的方式。

If you"re feeling particularly proactive, try pausing the video after a simple sentence and repeat what has just been said. This will lend your Chinese accent an air of authenticity!

如果你特別有學習積極性的話，試著在簡單句後暫停視頻，重複這個句子。這會令你的中文口音有種地道的感覺。

而在歪果仁的知乎Quora上，好幾位網友都安利起了動畫片《喜羊羊與灰太狼》↓↓↓

@Kevin Dewalt: I started watching episodes of 喜羊羊與灰太狼. I could not (and still can"t) follow the dialog at full speed, so my teacher would transcribe the dialog for me and I would study it as well. With my teacher I would explain the entire episode to her, ask questions, and attempt to use the new words and grammar from the episode. When I could watch it at full speed and understand everything I would move on. Sometimes I would have to see the same word multiple times before getting it.

我看《喜羊羊與灰太狼》。無論是當時還是現在，我都不太能跟上正常語速下的對話，所以我的老師會為我寫下對話，讓我學習。在老師的幫助下，我能向她解釋整集的內容，問問題，並且試著使用這一集中的新詞和語法。能在正常語速下觀看全集，並且理解所有內容時，我就會跳到下一集。有時我也會反覆看同一個詞，直到我能理解它。

@Daniel Tedesco: Start with children"s TV shows online. But spend the entire time listening and reading the subtitles (Chinese TV shows almost always have subtitles). I suggest 喜羊羊與灰太狼. When you get good enough, stop watching cartoons. Watch the news and Chinese movies. Keep reading the subtitles, though.

從網上的兒童節目開始看起，將所有的時間都花在聽力和閱讀字幕上（中國電視節目幾乎都有字幕）。我建議看《喜羊羊與灰太狼》。當你水平夠好了，就從卡通片改為看新聞和中國電影，繼續閱讀字幕。

4. 聽中文歌和廣播

Listen to Chinese music and radio.

Listening to Chinese music and/or radio is another good way to surround yourself in the language. Even if you can"t understand everything, try to pick out keywords to help you get the gist of what"s being said.

聽中文歌或者廣播是營造中文語言環境的又一種好方法。就算你聽不懂所有內容，試著挑出關鍵詞，幫助你理解大意。

（畫外音：周董的歌就算了吧，畢竟中國人自己也不一定能聽懂233333）

來感受一下Quora上歪果仁網友分享的學中文歌單，感覺一下回到了N年前……

5. 去中國旅遊

Consider taking a trip to China.

Once you feel comfortable with the basics of Mandarin Chinese speech, consider taking a trip to China. What better way to immerse yourself in the Mandarin language than a journey to its native land!

當你認為自己已經掌握了基本的中文會話，不如考慮去中國旅行吧。沒有什麼方式比前往中國旅遊更能讓自己沉浸在中文當中了~

6.別太為難自己

Don"t be too harsh on yourself.
