Speaking in one language

Zeynep Kucuk from Turkey was giving a Mandarin class to six international students and teaching them how to use the Chinese phrase "yibian ..., yibian ...", which literally means "doing one thing while doing another".

Kucuk began her class with a solo dance performance while she sang Jasmine Flower, a famous Chinese folk song, as she explained to the students that it was "yibian singing, yibian dancing".

The 23-year-old, a graduate student majoring in teaching Chinese to speakers of other languages at Fudan University, then asked the students to make a sentence with the phrase, and one student replied with "yibian driving, yibian making a phone call".
