Just as Qian Wenhuan laughed, a group of foreigners and a few flight attendants turned to look at him.
He quickly covered his mouth with an apologetic look.
No, he had to maintain his composure...
After reminding himself, Qian Wenhuan coughed lightly and looked at the young man next door again.
However, what surprised him was that despite such a big commotion, the other party did not react at all. He was still quietly flipping through the book in his hand.
'Pretend, keep pretending...'
Qian Wenhuan did not believe that the person who was closest to him would not have heard it.
The reason why he found it funny was that the young man in front of him had a calm demeanor. He was like a Chinese who had lived in Switzerland for many years. He thought it was a diamond, but it turned out to be a bronze.
Indeed, 65% of Switzerland's population spoke German. If he were to go to Switzerland, it would not be wrong to master German first. However, there was no need to learn it after boarding the plane.
Shaking his head, Qian Wenhuan suddenly felt a little regretful that he did not bring his European standard C1 certificate with him.
Otherwise, he could have inadvertently dropped the certificate while chatting with the other party and then picked it up nonchalantly.
Presumably, after seeing his C1 certificate, his expression would change from confusion, to doubt, to surprise, and finally to hysteria.
It would definitely be fun.
Sigh, what a pity...
Qian Wenhuan retracted his gaze with a regretful smile and leaned lazily against the back of the chair.
How was he going to spend the next 16 hours?
He took out his phone and was about to send a text to his wife. However, at this moment, his ears suddenly twitched.
Whoosh...
Whoosh...
The rhythmic sound of pages turning came from beside him. If not for his good hearing, he would have missed it.
Qian Wenhuan frowned. He turned his head again. Sure enough, it was the sound of the young man flipping through the book.
However, the frequency at which he was flipping through the book...
Qian Wenhuan was speechless.
'Little boy, do you think your eyes are a camera or a scanner that you can read with just one sweep?'
When he boarded the plane just now, he only saw the other party flipping to the preface. Now, the plane had not even taken off, but the book was already halfway through.
Looking at the condition of the book, it must have been bought not long ago. It could not be revision for him to flip through the book so quickly, right?
'So, the other party is still pretending?'
Qian Wenhuan muttered in his heart and retracted his gaze again.
"Ladies and gentlemen:"
"Welcome to Central Continent International Airlines flight K420 from Shangdu Chuanpu Airport to Zurich. The flight distance is 8,200 kilometers and the estimated flight time is 15 hours and 20 minutes."
"The plane will take off soon. The cabin crew is conducting a safety check now. For your personal safety, please sit properly and fasten your seat belt. Please turn off your phone … "
Following the beep, several air stewardesses began to check the seatbelts and distribute immigration cards.
Then, with a jolt, the plane successfully flew into the sky like a big bird.
After the plane completely stabilized, Qian Wenhuan unbuckled his seatbelt without waiting for the stewardess to remind him. He hummed a tune while crossing his legs, turned on the small TV, and picked a variety show to watch.
After an unknown period of time, just as Qian Wenhuan was feeling a little dazed from watching, he suddenly heard a movement beside him.
He subconsciously looked up and saw that the young man had put down the book in his hand, then stood up and took out a bag from the luggage rack.
You're not going to tell me that you're done, are you?
Qian Wenhuan was a little surprised, but then something even more surprising happened.
He saw that the young man actually took out a large pile of books from the bag.
Why did he bring so many books on a plane, wasn't it too heavy?
Qian Wenhuan watched in bewilderment as the young man took out all the books from the bag and placed them on the table in front of him, forming a thick pile.
"Contemporary University German", "New Refinement German Intensive Course", "New Standard German Intensive Course", "Throughout Germany"...
Qian Wenhuan had read all of these books. Although there were many books on learning German, there were only a few that had lasted for a long time. At this time, he could almost find all of them on the table.
Looking at the familiar names, Qian Wenhuan suddenly realized that the content of these textbooks was changing from shallow to deep!
From the most basic "Learning German with Zero Foundation" to the more profound "New Standard German Intensive Course", did the young man in front of him actually plan to read all of them?
Looking at the young man next to him starting to flip through the second book, Qian Wenhuan finally could not help but ask, "Little brother, what are you doing, learning German?"
"Yes, I have something to do in Switzerland. Since there's time on the plane, I can use it."
The young man next to him turned his head and replied politely.
'Damn it, of course I know you're going to Switzerland. What I mean is, what have you been doing since just now? Don't tell me you're learning German!'
Qian Wenhuan cursed in his heart, but he still put on a kind smile on his face. "Little brother, you're very eager to learn, but as someone who's experienced, I still have to remind you that German is not learned this way."
Without waiting for the young man to speak, Qian Wenhuan quickly explained, "I don't recommend starting self-study mode for beginners. First, it's too slow to learn. Second, many people realize that it's still not good enough after learning the pronunciation. In the end, they still have to sign up for a class, but the teacher will need to spend more time to correct their previous mispronunciations. That's the wrong way to learn."
"I see. Thank you for your reminder, big brother." The young man heard this and smiled gratefully.
Qian Wenhuan's spirit was lifted. He felt that he had gained face, so he asked again, "Little brother, how far have you gone on self-study?"
"I've just finished reading this book. I've learned the phonetic symbols and the parts of speech of nouns, as well as verb conjugation and sentence structure." The young man took out the "Learning German with Zero Foundation" book.
'Hmm? You've learned it so quickly. Who are you trying to fool?
Qian Wenhuan showed a look of disbelief. "Do you mind letting me test you?"
"That's exactly what I'm looking for!"
The young man nodded and put on a humble look.
Qian Wenhuan enjoyed this expression very much. He nodded approvingly and then asked the most basic German question.
The young man hesitated for a moment and answered with some uncertainty.
"See, I told you that German isn't that easy. You got it wrong in the first sentence."
Qian Wenhuan sighed helplessly. "The parts of speech of non-human nouns are very complicated. Kitchen three-piece spoon set L? Ffel, knife Messer, and fork Gabel. These three are basically illogical. You can't use the parts of speech of a human. That's wrong. The Swiss can't understand it at all. "
"Other than that, you have to pay special attention to the length of your pronunciation. For example, Stadt and Staat. A slight mistake and it'll have a different meaning..."
...
Next, it was time for Qian Wenhuan to ask questions, the young man to answer, and Qian Wenhuan to point out the mistakes and answer.
At first, Qian Wenhuan was quite excited. However, as time passed, Qian Wenhuan suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He realized that the young man in front of him seemed to be making fewer and fewer mistakes...
From the grammar and structure that were full of mistakes in the beginning, to the fact that he was talking to him in complete and fluent sentences?
What the hell!
Qian Wenhuan lowered his head and saw that the books on the young man's table were almost finished.
Only then did he realize that while he was explaining, the other party had not stopped flipping through the pages of the book. It was just that he had been too focused on his explanation, and the other party had always been able to echo his words and even praise him at the right time, so he had subconsciously overlooked it …
F * ck, what the hell am I doing?
