留学生比拼上海话，听听谁最“来赛”   2016-05-13

 

A COMPETITION designed to test foreign students’ ability to converse in the Shanghai dialect got under way yesterday.
This second annual Shanghai Dialect Showdown will see six contestants — one each from the United States, Denmark, Iran, Indonesia, Uzbekistan and Venezuela — vying for the coveted title.
Over the next month their language skills will be put to the test in a variety of settings, including teaching at a kindergarten, working as a pastry chef for a Dragon Boat Festival event, and training as an opera apprentice.
