NCUE-Diana Utkina from Russian Federation

您好！我叫季阿娜烏特基娜，我是莫斯科國立大學亞非學院的學生。這個夏天我得到了機會去台灣留學。慶幸的是我選擇了國立彰化師範大學語文中心。 我特別感謝黃南西和筑潔，她們幫助我們準備了所有必要的文件，申請了簽證，並獲得獎學金證書。她們幫助我們在宿舍安頓下來以及如何最好地到達教室。沒有哪所大學像彰師大給我們如此詳細的答案。我們感受到了真正的幫助和支持，所以立即決定去這所大學學習。語文中心的教育方法與莫斯科大學的方法不一樣。很有趣，因為在上課時，老師給了我們分組討論各種問題、進行演示、玩各種遊戲的機會，以更好地記住生詞和語法。我很驚喜地發現原來你可以用如此有趣、如此積極的方式學習中文，我從來沒有感到無聊。而且老師們認真地聽取我們的答案並告訴我們錯誤，使我們的成績不斷提高。印象深刻的是，我們和老師經常探索台灣文化和歷史的許多方面，由於過去一年我對台灣歷史有興趣，這促使我今年再次研究台灣歷史並寫一篇學期論文。常常報告讓我不再害怕在觀眾面前說中文，並且感到自信。印象深刻的是最終報告，當時我要準備一個短劇，並在整個語文中心面前表演。這是讓我覺得有點緊張的事情，卻是一次很棒的公開演講經歷。我還想強調的是，我喜歡在每節課結束時，都會寫一個小考試，這使我能夠及時學習材料，而不是熬夜學習最後一天。我從心底里要感謝徐老師和劉老師，她們豐富了我的知識，幫助了我們提高我們的中文水平。不得不提的是，語文中心還組織了一次精彩的苗栗之旅，我們可以與其他學生見面、練習中文，自己製作陶器，嘗試客家菜和製作擂茶。我非常感謝語文中心組織我們的學習，感謝你們給我們帶來了寶貴的新經驗和知識！
Hello! My name is Diana Utkina, and I am a student at the oriental and african studies at M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University. This summer, I had the opportunity to study abroad in Taiwan. Fortunately, I chose the Language Center at NCUE. I would like to express my special thanks to Nancy and Lily, who helped us prepare all the necessary documents, apply for visas, and obtain scholarship certificates. They assisted us with how to settle into the dormitories and the best way to the classroom. No other university has provided us with such detailed answers. We felt genuine help and support, so we immediately decided to study at NCUE. The teaching methods at the Language Center are different from those at Moscow University. Interestingly, during classes, the teachers give us opportunities for group discussions on various topics, demonstrations, and playing games to remember vocabulary and grammar better. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that you can learn Chinese in such a fun and engaging way. I have never felt bored. Furthermore, the teachers listen carefully to our answers and point out our mistakes, which helps us improve. I was impressed that we often explore many aspects of Taiwanese culture and history. Due to my interest in Taiwanese history over the past year, I was motivated to study and write an essay about it again. Frequent presentations have made me no longer afraid to speak Mandarin in front of an audience and feel confident. What impressed me particularly was the final presentation at the end, when I had to prepare a short play and perform it in front of everyone. It was a bit nerve but a fantastic experience. I like that we have a short quiz at the end of each class, which allows me to learn the material in a timely manner instead of cramming the night before. I sincerely thank Teacher Xu and Teacher Liu for enriching my knowledge and helping us improve our Chinese proficiency. I must mention the fantastic Miaoli trip. We could practice Mandarin while meeting other students, as well as making pottery, trying Hakka cuisine, and making Leicha. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Language Center for organizing our learning this way. Thank you for bringing us valuable new experiences and knowledge!
