Yang Hansen’s latest interview: Spoken language progress is slow, he frequently asks for help from the translator, and his emotional intelligence needs to be improved

On September 11, Chinese NBA player Yang Hansen was interviewed by Ronnie, a famous game 2K executive, in the United States. During the interview, Yang Hansen's spoken language attracted everyone's attention, but from the entire interview, Xiao Yang's spoken language progress was relatively slow, and it can even be said that he could not see any progress. During the entire interview, Xiao Yang looked at the translator Chris next to him many times before answering, hoping to seek help in his eyes. Although he could occasionally say a few words and phrases, most of the time, he still answered in Chinese.

Playing in the NBA, it is absolutely impossible to know how to speak English. This is why so many Chinese fans hope that Xiao Yang can improve his oral skills as soon as possible, at least to achieve a level of being able to communicate with others simply. In fact, when learning English, the most feared thing is that you dare not say it. From this interview, we can also see that Xiao Yang is afraid of making mistakes and dare not express it very much. This is the most worrying thing when learning a language. In fact, English is simpler than Chinese. Just say some words and combine them together. Even if the grammar is wrong, foreigners can guess what you mean and then complete the conversation with you. But even so, Xiao Yang still cannot communicate completely with Ronnie.

In fact, many of our athletes have grown into international stars. Their spoken language may not be very good, but they are very brave and not afraid of being embarrassed. This is worth learning from Xiao Yang. UFC athlete Li Jingliang is the representative figure. His English is almost zero-foundation, but he dares to say a few words to tens of thousands of viewers in the post-match interview. In the pre-match interview, he dares to say it, including some slang and swear words. Athletes must have this mentality. Including Tang Kai of ONE Championship, he was interviewed in English after defeating South Korean player Kim Kyoung-hoon, and was considered a model for Chinese athletes to show confidence. You can search and take a look.

In fact, there are also positive role models in basketball. "Xiaobao" Li Yueru, I don't know if you have seen his interviews, and they are also interviews in English. You can answer them smoothly. Although they are all basic words, it is enough for everyone to understand what she means. Yao Ming, the number one player in China's NBA, won't say that he is the top spoken language, so he has learned it slowly, so he must work hard in this regard. Another negative example is Yi Jianlian. Although his English is actually pretty good, his personality is too introverted, which has hindered his development in the NBA to a certain extent. There is no need to worry about Xiao Yang's personality, but English is indeed a little worried.

In this interview, Xiao Yang also exposed an emotional intelligence problem because of his poor English. Ronnie asked him if he would play 2K26 in private. Xiao Yang said, Yes, I will play with Chris first, I will control him, he is a loser. The previous sentences are all in Chinese, but the sentence that says he is a loser is switched to English. Anyone who has been to high school knows that it is very impolite or even disrespectful to say that others are losers in English. Although it is just a joke, this word is also taboo, which will feel weird for people with native English speakers. So in the final analysis, the more Xiao Yang is afraid of saying it wrong, the more he will be wrong. He really should hire a good oral teacher to conduct systematic training.
