Immigrating to Ireland, Chinese is also popular.

? As we all know, Ireland is the only English-speaking country in the European Union, and the popularity of English is naturally very high. However, in recent years, Chinese teaching has developed rapidly in Europe, and many countries have begun to take Chinese as a compulsory course. Ireland has realized the importance of learning Chinese when more and more countries in the world set off an upsurge of learning Chinese. So what kind of existence are Chinese in this emerald island country? Cultural exchange between China and Ireland

In Ireland, people's enthusiasm for learning Chinese is growing. It is reported that with the development and prosperity of China's economy, the cultural and commercial relations between China and Ireland are heating up day by day. More and more Irish people realize that mastering Chinese has become a trump card for their employment. In line with the situation, Irish higher education has put forward urgent requirements for studying, researching and popularizing China culture and learning Chinese.

At that time, former British Prime Minister David Cameron urged local students to learn Chinese, claiming? As the only official language in China, Putonghua is the trend of the world language in the future? And send their children to learn Chinese. Now that Big Brother has spoken, Ireland, as his good brother, will of course vigorously promote Chinese. It is really good that the two brothers are good.

When it comes to the promotion of China culture, we have to mention the Confucius Institute. Confucius Institute is a cultural exchange institution established by the Office of the Leading Group for Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language in China. The most important task is to provide authoritative Chinese teaching materials and orthodox Chinese teaching channels, and promote China culture and Chinese studies education to all parts of the world.

As early as the end of 2006, Confucius Institute was successfully established in Ireland and settled in UCD National University and UCD National University of Cork. So far, the Confucius Institute at the University of Dublin has provided Chinese courses for four primary and secondary schools in Mishel. Moreover, the Confucius Institute prepares rich chinese dinner table and performance parties for traditional festivals such as Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Lantern Festival every year.

The competition was held in Dublin, Ireland.

International Association of Chinese Teachers

According to experts' estimation, at least 150 schools in Ireland offer China language and culture courses, and about 1 10,000 students study Chinese in Ireland every year. In this situation, the demand for teachers of Chinese as a foreign language is urgent, and the Chinese courses offered by local colleges and universities can't meet the students' thirst for Chinese more and more. In 20 13, the International Association of Chinese Teachers (ICA) successfully settled in Ireland, and continued its efforts to spread China culture in Ireland. When ICA settled down, it brought many excellent international teachers of Chinese as a foreign language and prepared extremely professional Chinese teaching courses for Irish people. Before the arrival of the International Cooperative Alliance, Irish nationals had been informed of this news and warmly welcomed it. This move will greatly satisfy the people's desire for Chinese studies and will? Chinese fever? The tide has pushed to another peak.

Whether it's helping the elderly repair their cars on the road or singing folk songs with their opponents' fans after losing, it's all because of the Irish's natural enthusiasm and humor. From the usual conversation, we gradually found that Irish people tend to have a strong sense of integration, which is what we often say? Self-cooking . I always remember that when I first came here to get a GNIB card, I couldn't find Garda Station. In desperation, I asked a passing Irish uncle for help. I can't speak English well, so I showed him a map. Who would have thought that uncle actually took me all the way and walked for nearly 30 minutes. When you arrive, tell me where to line up and where to pay. I always thanked him, and then he made a joke. Remember to call me next time you get lost! ?

What did she say? Here? , refers to the European Union.

In addition, the transportation between Ireland and EU countries is very convenient, so parents of EU students often fly to visit their children, and parents from the United States will also come together in groups. Exemption 172 the country is so capricious!
