1919年,张大千到日本学习美术。当时,学校里的教科书除了英文外,大部分都是日文。张大千在国内时英语学得不错,但对日语却从没有接触过。但在这里,不仅听课,就是平时交流也少不了日语。于是,二哥张子善便带着他在学校附近租了两间房子,以便让他能经常与房东接触,尽快学会日语。一段时间后,张大千的日语水平有了很大提高,可以进行简短的对话交谈了。 In 1919, Zhang Daqian went to Japan to study art. At that time, most of the textbooks in schools except Japanese were in Japanese. Zhang Daqian learned good English in China, but never touched Japanese. But here, not only attend lectures, but also communicate with others in Japanese. As a result, brother Zhang Zishan brought him near the school rented two houses, so that he can often contact with the landlord, as soon as possible to learn Japanese. After a period of time, Zhang Tai-seng’s Japanese language skills have greatly improved, allowing for a short conversation.
