Ja fa quasi un mes de tot plegat per\u00f2… el passat 29 de setembre vaig poder fer una triple celebraci\u00f3.<\/p>\n

L’Aniversari!<\/h2>\n

De fet va ser una setmana plena d’aniversaris i vam acabar tips de menjar pastissos i dol\u00e7os variats. Consecutivament van ser els aniversaris de la nostra professora de xin\u00e8s i de tres alumnes, aix\u00ed que vaig demanar expressament, que si us plau, no volia cap m\u00e9s past\u00eds el dia del meu aniversari. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Per\u00f2 no me’n vaig poder escapar. Al migdia vaig anar a dinar amb l’Albert i gent de la seva feina que, per sorpresa, van portar un past\u00eds! Val a dir que estava molt bo i una cosa curiosa que tenen aqu\u00ed a Taiwan \u00e9s que quan compres un past\u00eds et pregunten els anys i et donen les espelmes directament juntament amb platets i culleres. De vegades per\u00f2, si \u00e9s tracta d’un comprom\u00eds o \u00e9s per quedar b\u00e9, les espelmes tenen forma d’interrogant.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Al vespre, despr\u00e8s de classe, vam anar cap a casa per acabar la celebraci\u00f3 amb un bon sopar, una barreja de menjar indi (cuinat per la profe), xin\u00e8s (els t\u00edpics dumplings) i hispano-catal\u00e0 (truita de patates, pa amb tom\u00e0quet i pernil!). Aqu\u00ed si que no vam tastar cap past\u00eds, per\u00f2 si una bona raci\u00f3 de pernil que em van reglar la Nina i l’Albert :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A part, l’Albert tamb\u00e9 em va regalar un puzzle amb un missatge mig codificat… que ja revelarem en el seu moment! <\/p>\n

Acabar el curs de xin\u00e8s<\/h2>\n

I just el mateix dia acab\u00e0vem les classes de xin\u00e8s. Despr\u00e8s de 9 mesos i tres cursos de xin\u00e8s, ara puc dir que \u00abxaporrejo\u00bb una miqueta de xin\u00e8s, \u00e9s a dir, xin\u00e8s de subsist\u00e8ncia. L’avaluaci\u00f3 era continua i ho valoraven tot, per despr\u00e8s poder demanar un certificat amb la nota final de cada curs:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

No em puc queixar :)<\/p>\n

I per demostrar el nostre nivell de xino (el de l’Albert tamb\u00e9!) podeu mirar aquests videos! (sense gui\u00f3! encara que va quedar poc natural).<\/p>\n

<\/embed><\/object><\/center><\/p>\n

Una de les particularitats del xin\u00e8s s\u00f3n els articles \u00abdemostratius-quantitatius<\/a>\u00bb … \u00c9s a dir, a m\u00e9s de l’alrticle determinant (el, la…) o numeral (un, dos…) en xin\u00e8s s’afegeix una altra part\u00edcula que acostuma a classificar d’alguna manera el tipus de paraula segons les caracter\u00edstiques del significat. Per exemple<\/a>, les persones o coses amb cap forma determinada tenen una part\u00edcula; els animals en tenen una altra; les coses en forma de l\u00e0mina; les coses allargades o planes, o que es poden agafar amb les mans… D’altres per\u00f2, corresponen directament amb el nom de l’objecte com fulla, llauna, bol, bossa, etc.
\nAqu\u00ed en tenu uns exemples en xin\u00e8s i castell\u00e0 ;)<\/p>\n

9 Mesos<\/h2>\n

El 29 de setembre tamb\u00e9 va coincidir amb el dia que feia 9 mesos de la meva marxa cap a Taiwan. Com que amb l’Albert vam venir separats, cada mes \u00abcelebrem\u00bb un mes de la nostra estada a Taiwan, sobretot recordada per les fam\u00edlies que ens feliciten cada vegada com si es tract\u00e8s d’un aniversari.<\/p>\n

A part, tamb\u00e9 celebr\u00e0vem que ja ten\u00edem els bitllets per anar cap a Barcelona 3 setmanes a l’octubre. Per\u00f2 aix\u00f2 ja ho explicarem en el proper post! ;)Almost one month ago but… last 29th September I had a triple celebration. <\/p>\n

Birthday!<\/h2>\n

Actually it was a week busy with birthdays and we ended full of eating cakes and different sweets.
\nConsecutively, it was our teacher of Chinese’s birthday and also of three students, so I ask them to do not bring any more cakes this day. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But I couldn’t escape from it. At noon, I went to have lunch with Albert and some of his colleagues, who by surprise brought a cake! (Thank you Mingta ;)) It was very good! A curious thing here in Taiwan is that, when buying a cake you are always asked about how old is the person and they give you the candles together with small dishes and spoons. Sometimes, in case of doubt or just to make a good impression, the candle is a question mark instead of numbers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the afternoon, after class, we went home to finish the celebration with a special dinner, a mix of Indian food (homemade by the teacher), Chinese (traditional dumplings) and Spanish-Catalan (potato omelet, bread with tomato sauce and ham!). This time we didn’t have any cake but instead we had a good plate of Spanish ham that Nina and Albert brought.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

A part of that, a present from Albert was a puzzle with an encoded message… that we will reveal another time! <\/p>\n

End of Chinese lessons<\/h2>\n

And just the same day we also finished our Chinese course. After 9 months and three courses of Chinese, I can say I can \u00abspeak\u00bb a little of Chinese, that means, \u00absurvival Chinese\u00bb. At school we had continuous assessment and at the end we could ask for a certificate with the final results:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

I can not complain :)<\/p>\n

And to show our level of Chinese (Albert’s too!) you can have a look at these videos! (without script! however not very natural).<\/p>\n

<\/embed><\/object><\/center><\/p>\n

One of the characteristics of the Chinese are the \u00abmeasure words<\/a>\u00ab… that is to say, besides the demonstrative article (the) or numeral (one, two…) in Chinese there is another particle that use to classify the words according to the charactersitics of the meaning. For example<\/a>, people or things with any specific shape have a particle; animals have another one; flat things; things like sheets; elongated or flat things, or that you can take with a hand… But some others, match directly with the name of the object as sheet, can, bowl, bag, etc.<\/p>\n

Here you have some examples in Chinese and English ;)<\/p>\n

9 Months<\/h2>\n

The 29th of September was also the same day I left Barcelona 9 months ago to come to Taiwan. As Albert and I came on different dates, every month we \u00abcelebrate\u00bb one month more of our stay in Taiwan. Specially our families are who remember and congratulate us every time like a real birthday. <\/p>\n

Also, we could celebrate that we already had the tickets to Barcelona to spend three weeks in October. But we’ll explain that on the next post ;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
