Are there any of your university professors whose Mandarin is hard to understand?

I remember during my freshman or sophomore year, when I took a course in advanced mathematics – it was a large-class course, with three classes attending together, totaling over 90 students. The instructor’s strong local accent – alas, it’s completely unintelligible. For example, delta X – he pronounces it as “to it akeksi” (that’s the only part I can still remember). Then, several teachers who were observing the class came over; that day the teacher spoke in a more standard manner, but it didn’t help – I still couldn’t understand. Since the teacher observing the class came along with the advanced math teacher and sat next to us, we didn’t dare to change seats. The teacher observing the class asked us in a low voice, “Can you understand what’s being taught?” ” I’ll honestly say, “I don’t understand.” This lesson has already been taught very well. ” Teacher observing the class: “So what are you going to do?” ” Me: “Look at it by yourself; there’s homework after class, so study on your own!” ” As a result, in the second half of the class, the advanced math teacher came in and lost his temper: “Who’s sitting in that seat?” Who among you had trouble understanding the lecture and spoke to the instructor? ”Balabala had a half-class of training. . . As a result, the teacher continued to receive his salary and teach as usual, while we continued to study on our own.

When we went to university in the Northeast back then, our teacher said something like \"It’s a huge gap.\" I didn’t understand what he meant at the time, but later I understood it, and I’ll remember that for the rest of my life.

Yes, there’s a local variant of Mandarin that sounds heart-wrenching to hear~~~~ Classes with it are pure suffering~~~

At least you understood it; you just don’t get the meaning. We simply can’t understand the pronunciation of the words at all.

But generally, by the time you reach university, classes should be taught in Mandarin, right?

Hahaha, that really exists. When I was in my first year and taking organic chemistry, our teacher was from Guangdong; he usually spoke in the local dialect. The Mandarin he used in class? Well, not many people could understand it. He himself said that it was because his Mandarin skills weren’t good enough that he could only remain an associate professor. To give a few simple examples, ‘Suanze Ti’ and ‘Fo Zhai’ are both transliterations; does everyone know what they mean?

It sounds like a very awkward form of Mandarin~~~~~ It’s not natural at all~~~

It has nothing to do with professional knowledge – guess again; P
