Story About Gu hongming(辜鸿铭)

Gu HongMing is a very famous litterateur in modern times of china.He was born in  Pengnang Island belonging to Malaysia,received his education in Europe,married in Japan and worked for the Northern Warlords.He was a real genius and he could speak seven languages and received thirteen master degrees.I think what he had done to learn new language could give us an excellent example.His father was a Chinese manager in a rubber plantation and his mother is a European who could speak Spanish and Portuguese.His adoptive father is a rich man whose name was Brown.He brought him to the England and taught him English.At first ,every day Brown let Gu read only one sentence in <Faust> and recited it clearly.After a long time ,he could even recite the whole book.Then ,Brown was very glad and let him to read the complete work of Shakespeare but also every day he he could only read a few sentences.Several years later could even recite all the dramas,which was quite amazing and incredible.And then he started to read other novels and essays which were quite challenging.Owing to his willpower, he almost read all the books in the library and later he started to learn French and other languages.
His achievements may actually make us envy him.But at the meantime ,what we should do is change our study method and find some useful information from his success and also study hard to manage this language.

  3. That's certainly a unique way to learn a language! I'm not sure if it would work for others, though. Perhaps what one can learn from it is to focus on mastering one thing, be it a sentence, a phrase, or perhaps a song, in a given space of time. It's the concept of building one block upon the other.
