A 75-year-old grandmother who has taught herself 11 foreign languages and can communicate with foreigners without barriers. How would you feel when you see such a scene?
Recently, a video of an old grandmother selling water to foreign tourists in a foreign language in the Yangshuo Moon Mountain Scenic Spot in Guilin has attracted the attention and heated discussion of many netizens.
In the video, the grandmother first uses English to sell water to foreign tourists, during which she also asks which country they are from,For tourists from Germany, Israel and other countries, the grandmother immediately switched seamlessly to German and Hebrew to say hello to these tourists.
The grandmother’s language skills surprised many tourists. The grandmother with such outstanding self-learning ability must be a scholar if she had the opportunity to go to school when she was young.
This scene also made many netizens sigh: “It turns out that I am really inferior to a 75-year-old grandmother”, “I came to this world to make up the number.”
It is reported that the surname of the grandmother who sold water in the Moon Mountain Scenic Spot and taught herself 11 foreign languages was Xu.Grandma Xu only has a third grade diploma and does not understand any foreign language.
More than 20 years ago, with the rise of tourism in Guilin and Yangshuo, Grandma Xu began to sell water at Moon Mountain at the entrance of the village. With the development of tourism, more and more foreigners come to travel here.
At first, Grandma Xu could only ask foreign tourists in Chinese: “Do you want water?” The foreign tourists said, “Wow, water”. Only then did Grandma Xu know that water means water.
Grandma Xu’s fluent English is obtained by asking questions. After she asks, she doesn’t understand it and writes it down in a notebook. After frequent conversations with foreign tourists, Grandma Xu’s foreign language is getting better and better. Slowly, I can speak 11 foreign languages, and I also changed from selling water to a tour guide.
