Kelson Teo from the Netherlands is embracing a new adventure at Tsinghua University in the Chinese capital, diving deep into the Chinese language and marveling at the stunning Chinese architecture around him. 🏛️📚 He finds the Chinese language system unique, with its tones that distinguish meanings and its ancient writing system, which operates differently from Western languages. Unlike most Western languages that use a phonetic system, Chinese combines both phonetic and ideographic elements, making it truly fascinating.
Beyond the language, Kelson is intrigued by the variety of Chinese dialects. Although the written language remains consistent, the spoken dialects vary significantly across different regions, showcasing the rich cultural diversity of the Chinese mainland. 🌍🔤
Kelson hopes that his experiences will pave the way for more cultural exchanges between China and the Netherlands, fostering mutual understanding and appreciation between the two countries. 🤝✨
