Foreign Language Skills
During Liu Huan’ s lectures, he always introduces some foreign words which are names of people, schools, and locations. These words sometimes are English, and sometimes are French, German, and even Italian. His foreign language skills were beclouded by his students. However, Liu Huan says modestly: “My major is French, and I can speak English, too. For German and Italian, I only knew some terminations of them, but it doesn’t mean I can speak them.”

“Make-believe is the avenue to much of the young child’s early understanding. He sorts out impressions and tries out ideas that are foundational to his later realistic comprehension. This private world sometimes is a quiet, solitary
world. More often it is a noisy, busy, crowded place where language grows, and social skills develop, and where perseverance and attention-span expand.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
