Media Corp Variety Show ~ "It's a small world" 国记交意所

Starting 26th May, every Tuesday 8pm, Channel 8

Recently Channel 8 of Media Corps has launch a new and interesting variety show: "It's a small world" 国记交意所 in Chinese. The show is in a classroom setting where the participants are Mandarin speaking foreigners who act as students. They exchange their opinions and experiences that they had in different countries. They discuss on topics such as fashion, art and music, geography, policies, traditional practices, social phenomenons and such. It is amazing to see foreigners speaking such fluent Mandarin. We hope students of DJH Chinese Courses will find it as a motivation in learning Mandarin as well while enjoying the show.



新加坡快变成环球都市！

李光耀资政说, 理想目标是60％新加坡出生公民, 40％外来移民。

目前和将来都有很多来自不同国家的人到新加坡读书、工作、长期居留.
各国语言和文化背景的差异产生不少有趣经验.

好笑逗趣的TALK SHOW交流, 让观众更理解外国情形, 让外籍人士更了解新加坡, 观众也可以从外国人的角度看新加坡.

节目将以一所“国际课室”包装. 李国煌是讲师, 还会有2位逗趣助教, 随时帮忙演戏, 示范. 上课的是8到10 位原自不同国籍的同学! 他们会听, 会说40%-50%华语, 他们都来到“交意所”来上课.


Singapore is fast evolving into a metropolis.

MM Lee once said, the ideal target is a mixture of 60% homegrown talent and 40% foreign talent. Be it now or the future, there are many foreigners from different countries and backgrounds residing in Singapore for studies or work. Various countries’ languages and culture differences mean there will be many interesting experiences to be shared.
Through a light-hearted and humorous Talk Show, we showcase the differences in culture between foreigners and Singaporeans.

Mark Lee is a lecturer in an International Classroom and will have two humorous assistants to help out in sketches, demonstrations of ideas.

Speak Mandarin Campaign 2009

It is amazing to see these foreign kids speaking such good Mandarin, reciting Chinese poems and stories. I believe these children must have been living in China or at least in a Chinese speaking environment as they have a mainland Chinese accent in the Mandarin they speak. Most people in Singapore will not have this accent.



I am not sure how effective this Speak Chinese Campaign advertisement will be on Singaporeans with such non-local Chinese accent. However, it will definitely encourage the non-Chinese communities in Singapore to take up Mandarin or allow their children to learn Mandarin from young. With a good environment and exposure to the language from young, children will be encouraged to pick up the new language, master it and it will serve them for life.
