Chinese HSK 1 - Chinese HSK 1 week 1 lesson 5

Nǐ hǎo！Huānyínɡ láidào HSK hànyǔ kètánɡ. Wǒ jiào Yú Bīn. Wǒ de diànhuà hàomǎ shì bā liù yāo línɡ liù èr qī wǔ. Nǐ de diànhuà hàomǎ shì duōshao?]. We are going to learn more greetings today. So you could use the phrases over the weekend, if you have Chinese friends around. There are five dialogues. Dialogue 1, read after me, please. [FOREIGN]. Almost every day when I step into my classroom, I say, [Tóngxuémen hǎo!] to my students. And my students say [Lǎoshī hǎo!] to me. [tóngxué men] is students or classmates. [lǎoshī] is teacher. To make personal pronouns including [我 (wǒ), 你 (nǐ), 他 (tā)], and [她 (tā)] plural, all you need to do is to add the suffix [们(men)] to it. Please have a look. When you use suffix [men], it's only for people, not for any other things. Read with me please, . For instance we can say, [tóngxuémen]. And [hànzìmen]? no, you can't say that. What about [péngyoumen]? Yeah, of course. How about [ɡǒumen]? No. Now let's watch a video.The first sentence in the video is , how are you? is used to ask about the condition of something or someone. More examples. Read the text from dialogue one. . An exercise for you now. Translate the English phrases into Chinese. Let's do it together. Number one, I'm fine. How do you say that? Yes, [FOREIGN]. Number two, teacher, students. [FOREIGN]. The last one, how are you? [FOREIGN]. Did you get it? You may know how to say thank you. But how do you say, you're welcome? Have a look, then [Xièxie means thank you. The second [xie] in [Xièxie！] is neutral tone. [Búkèqi!] means you're welcome or not at all. [qi] is also soft tone. Read after me please. [FOREIGN] Dialogue four for you.What did they say? Yes, they said, I'm sorry. That's all right, no problem. Follow me, please. [FOREIGN]. There are two syllables with a neutral tone. One is [bu] in [Duìbuqǐ！], another one is [xi] in [Méiguānxi！] The last dialogue for you is, let's watch a video, [zài] means again. [jiàn] means to see. You learnt [míngtiān] in the last lesson, it is tomorrow. So the two phrases are see you again, see you tomorrow. Read with me again please. That's all for today. [Xièxie! Zàijiàn!]
