Hello everyone,

This week we learned how to write your address in Chinese and how to count numbers from 1 to 999. Please preview the text of chapter 1 and think about how to ask your partner's address and telephone number, as well as how to pronounce your address and number in Chinese. At the beginning of the next class, I will invite you to choose a partner, come to the front, and then make a conversation with your partner.

Although you do not have written homework, it does not mean you do not homework this week. I will evaluate your performance according to next week's conversation.

Besides, after discussion and negotiation, this week, we decided to choose the Chinese version of The Phantom of the Opera to do our final performance. Please remember to watch the YouTube video (both English and Chinese version) to get familiar with the melody and lyrics of this song. Thank you!





Looking forward to seeing you next week.

Best,
Tianyi

Hi everyone, We reviewed previous knowledge about pets and learned new content including the definition of radicals, how to use and find radicals, the differences between unaspirated and aspirated consonants, and how to use gesture to correctly pronounce the pinyin. Please remember to review these knowledge at home to prepare for a quiz at the beginning of the next class (9/7). Please remember that we do not have class next Saturday (8/31). Homework: Complete the exercise on workbook (page 85-88 except exercise 11) and bring your homework to class (9/7). In case some students do not have workbook, I attached the scan document via email.  This is the link of a YouTube video we watched in class (about different categories of radicals). Please watch it again and try to memorize these radicals as much as possible.  The new students need to do extra homework. Here are the YouTube videos.
