（韋南珊參加中國文化節活動）

韋南珊（Vanessa Willenberg）在許多不同的國家都生活過，大千世界的豐富多樣深深地吸引著她、激勵著她探索和發現未知的魅力。韋南珊在德國、西班牙、愛爾蘭和美國都曾學習、工作和生活過很長時間，特殊的經歷讓她對不同的語言和文化充滿了探索與研究的熱情。韋南珊第一次與漢語的“邂逅”還是在她在愛爾蘭擔任翻譯的時候，從那時起韋南珊便與漢語和中國結下了不解之緣。幾年之后，韋南珊前往了美國，在大學的外語學院教授西班牙語，此時的她決定開始參加學校的中文課程，正式學習中文。前往中國，了解和融入中國文化的念頭也開始在韋南珊的心中萌發。

With German, Spanish, Irish and American background, Vanessa has experienced life in many different countries. This is where her passion for languages and cultures comes from. While she was working as a translator in Ireland, she started learning some Chinese. However, it was in the USA, at the college where she was teaching, that she actually went to Chinese classes and seriously considered emerging into the culture.

直到正式學習中文4年之后，韋南珊才決定脫離自己的“舒適圈”，離開在西班牙的家庭、市場營銷的工作和熟悉的生活方式，搬到中國，搬到昆明生活?！霸颇辖洕芾韺W院提供的職位聽起來很有意思，因為它給了我一個參與全新的國際化項目的機會。我喜歡教書，但我也想以不同的方式為教育系統做貢獻。我相信讓學生運用他們在母國學校和生活中學習到的語言技能，到海外去，與當地人一起生活，親身體驗不同的文化，這對他們的學習成長至關重要，并且能增強學生們的就業競爭力?！?/p>

It wasn’t until 4 years later, that she decided taking the big step of leaving her family, her job in marketing and her life behind to move to Kunming. “The position offered at Yunnan University of Business Management sounded so interesting because it gave me the opportunity of being part of a bigger internationalization project. I like teaching, but I also want to contribute in a different way to the educational system. Giving students the chance of using their acquired language skills abroad and living together with local people, getting first-hand experience of the culture, is crucial in their learning process, resulting in greater job opportunities.”

“昆明是我來中國的第一站，這里的風土人情和自然風光給我留下了非常深刻的第一印象。昆明是一座美麗而真實的城市，文化豐富，是當今中國許多現代城市所沒有的。這里新鮮的空氣和蔚藍的天空讓我感覺到了像家一樣的舒適?！?br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; max-width: 100%; box-sizing: border-box !important; word-wrap: break-word !important;"/>

“Kunming is the first Chinese city I visited and it gave me a great first impression of the people, culture and landscape. It is a beautiful and authentic city with cultural richness not seen in too many modern Chinese cities nowadays. The fresh air and blue sky helped me a lot to feel like home.”

在來中國之前，韋南珊參加了一些太極和中國功夫的課程，并且在到達昆明后她還在一直堅持學習太極和中國功夫?！斑@是一個很好的運動方式，可以讓人回歸單純和放松，同時，保持注意力集中。不僅如此，他們還能讓我更好地了解中國的文化?！?/p>

Before starting her journey, Vanessa took some Tai Chi and Kung Fu classes which she kept up when she arrived in China. “It is a great way to disconnect and relax and, at the same time, to stay focused and get to know the culture better.”

盡管來昆明后的新體驗中大部分內容都非常積極的，但是韋南珊也遇到了一些困難，其中最大的困難便是語言障礙，“在大學里學了一年的中文，每周上三節課，有助于掌握關于語言的一些基本知識，但我發現到中國后，實際的情況要復雜得多?！?/p>

Even though most part of the new experience was very positive, Vanessa also encountered some difficulties, the biggest being the language barrier, “having studied the language for a year at university, with three lessons per week, helped to get the basics of the language, but I’m noticing here that it’s much more complex.”

“這里（昆明）的人都太好了，沒能和他們多交流，真讓人沮喪。所以，我每天都在學習，問很多的問題——我的同事們能作證?！?/p>

 “People here are so nice and it’s frustrating not being able to talk more to them. So, I’m studying every day and asking lots of questions – my colleagues can tell.”

除了每天學習中文之外，韋南珊還經常聽中國音樂，努力學習歌詞，理解詞義，學習中國的傳統樂器和風格。她相信音樂是學習一門新語言的有效途徑，是與文化和人們聯系的有效途徑。此外，音樂也是一種使學習更有趣和快樂的方法。

Apart from studying every day, she listens to Chinese music, trying to learn the lyrics, understand the meaning and learn about traditional instruments and styles. Some of her research shows that music is an effective way to learn a new language and to relate to the culture and its people. Furthermore, it is a way to make learning more interesting and fun.

“在中國教書和工作與我以前工作過的所有地方都不一樣”。在獲得教學碩士學位后，韋南珊在不同的學校和國家教授過不同年齡段的課程?！拔夜ぷ鬟^的每一所學?；虼髮W，我都從學生和同事那里學到了很多關于方法論、文化和社會生活的新知識。在中國工作和教書對我來說又是一次全新的經歷，我非常享受”。

“Teaching and working in China is different from all other places I’ve worked before”. After taking her Master’s degree in teaching, Vanessa taught different age groups and in different schools and countries. “Every school or university I’ve worked at, I learned a lot from the students and colleagues about methodology, cultures and live in general. And working and teaching in China is again a completely new experience for me, which I’m enjoying fully”.
