Edo Traveler

Remember in one second【】

Not to mention that the generations and pro-fans want to learn English, and even the foreigners are also moved by the wind. In the southwest, the Dafan, which is closest to the mainland, is all outside.

Mori, Kuroda, Nabeshima, Hosokawa, Shimadzu, Yamauchi, Date...

Counting them down, these are most likely to hit the British boats and guns immediately. They are all foreign names. Now it's so easy to meet an Englishman, or a British nobleman, since we open an English private school, can we not bring us?

The reason is definitely correct. If they encounter the British in the domain, the two sides speak with the same duck, and the language is not communicated. In the end, a direct conflict erupts. What should I do? The news reported to Mizuno Tadakuni and Tokugawa Ieki. After a little discussion, their requests were allowed.

Anyone who is willing to learn English can send one or two people, but the expenses will be borne by themselves. The shogunate only cares about the board and lodging expenses of the general affairs that he needs to train, and the others take care of it.

Come on, just have your words. The southwestern vassals, as well as many generations and pro-fans along the coast, sent people over. The least unexpected thing is that Shoin Yoshida took the path of his little brother Katsura Kogoro, staying in Edo and spending money from Maori to learn English.

The Satsuma clan also left some people there, and it was said that he had a relationship with Chuemon, Okubo Masasuke!

Now he is in the original service and has grown into a big and small boy, with the name Okubo Toshito. As a bookkeeper in the Satsuma domain, he was ordered to stay in Edo to learn English. He also has a companion called Yiji Zhizhengji. Chuemon is familiar to this name, but not so familiar. It is probably a personal thing.

Tosa came from a middle-aged man with a pretty bridge of nose, but thin eyebrows. Wearing a meticulous Yuedai head, when asked, it turned out to be the sergeant Ma Jingzhong from the Yamauchi family. The name was Yoshida Kanbei Motokichi, and he didn't seem to be familiar with it, but when his name was reported, Chungemon knew him.

Yoshida Toyo!

When a large group of students were in place, Chuemon suddenly had an idea. If he and Shintaro Terazawa used a double-pipe spray from the corridor to indoors, basically the entire Restoration team, as well as the founder of Meiji, might be half dead.

Depend on!

A house of anti-thief!

In addition to the 21 students of the shogunate, more than 70 students came, and a lot of them were not registered, or the number of students was exceeded. Volunteer to stand in the hallway to listen and ask for a learning opportunity. Chuemon doesn't want to be a villain. As long as the students are not noisy or noisy, let's not care about them.

MacDonald was very happy to see so many people coming to him to learn English, especially when he discovered that Japan actually has a special Japanese-English dictionary, that is, a booklet that uses Chinese characters and kana to mark the pronunciation of English words. Presumably, many people in later generations have also used this method to learn English.

More than half of the people present actually have this kind of brochure. It is really not too difficult for them to write a few English words or short sentences in English. But let them speak English, then they can only hehe.

Most people just memorize hundreds of common English words by rote. MacDonald told them not to be afraid to speak, even if they were like ghosts, they were bold enough to speak them.

Then MacDonald found out that the Japanese had difficulty in pronunciation of consonants and the total pronunciation of r as l. It's no wonder that even those who have a basic knowledge of dumb English can't speak English well.

After getting a basic understanding of the students' situation, MacDonald divided the class of more than 70 students into two parts. One part had a relatively weak foundation in English, and all words, sentences and patterns must be taught. The other part is already basic in English, and this part of the people come to practice oral English and correct pronunciation every day.

And he discovered that among the fourteen generals from Nagasaki, two of them were barely able to speak English. One was Moriyama Eunosuke (1820-1871) and the other was Horidunosuke (1824-1894). , The two were immediately selected by MacDonald as teaching assistants, and started a small stove every day.

In the morning, I teach those who have a weak foundation in English, and teach them basic words and sentence patterns. At first, he taught by MacDonald, and later became assistant teachers of Horida nosuke and Moriyama Ei no. In the afternoon, MacDonald will teach those basic students.

There is a saying that these students' enthusiasm for learning can be called a thirst for knowledge. Obviously divided into two classes, but these students are not willing to miss the opportunity to listen to the lecture. Even those students who have the foundation will come to listen to the basic class, and then correct their own writing and writing sentences.

Because MacDonald told them that they must speak more. There is no English language environment in Japan. So at five o'clock in the morning, there were students standing in the courtyard reading words and sentences aloud. At first, there were one or two people. Later, almost all the students started to study early.

In addition to self-study in the morning, these students also elected their own "life committees" to arrange classes for everyone. Some helped McDonald cook breakfast, and some helped McDonald cook hot water. As for things like pouring the toilet, cleaning up the bedding, washing and combing hair, all these things are done by this group of students.

Anyway, MacDonald only needs to teach, he even has someone to help him put on his clothes...

Even Yoshida Shoin is like this. At four o'clock in the morning, the fences of the streets and towns are opened, and they go to the private school for morning classes and ask for the help of Horida. After I finished my morning study, I ran home to have breakfast. At this time, Chuemon usually got up.

After eating breakfast and greeting Chuyouemon, he hurried to the school while recite the vocabulary. That studious look made Chungemon embarrassed. If we were able to have this kind of energy back then, what kind of good university would we not be able to get into.

"Is it Edogawa-sama?"

After three poles in the day, UU reading www. Only after uukanshu.com Chungemon came to inspect the private school, a young samurai saluted by the side of the road.

"It's me, what's the matter?" Chuemon dismounted and looked at the young samurai.

"The next one is Tongxin under the official match of Moriyama, the official assistant of Taiichiro Tanabe (Day: Taichi Tanabe), I hope you can enroll me."

"Do you have a job title?" Chuemon also felt that the name was familiar, but he didn't have a deep impression.

It stands to reason that people with positions in the school are not allowed to go to school, or you can come directly to the private school when you are free, and Chungemon does not stop it anyway.

"Zai Shi has resigned, I thought I could catch up with the beginning of school..." Taichi Tanabe was a little embarrassed.

"Did you rush back from the West? I quit my errand?" This kid sacrificed a lot in order to learn English.

"Yes, please allow me to enroll!"

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
