Lesson 5 - 她是谁？

In this lesson we reviewed and added some pinyin sounds. Each sound is below. Please practice the sound as you were taught in class.
di die diao dian
ti tie tiao tian
ni nie niao nian
li lie liao lian

We also went over some simple questions.
Ta1 shi4 shui2?
她是谁？
Who is she?

Ta1 shi4 lao3 shi1 ma1?
她是老师吗？
Is she a teacher?

To answer the question negatively, we would say:

bu4, ta1 bu2 shi4 lao3 shi1.
不，她不是老师。
No, she is not a teacher.

Our vocabulary word for the day was: Xiao4 Zhang3 , which is 校长 or Principal.

To end class we did a short discussion on Chinese policy in Africa. China is being pressed by many countries to use it's economic power and good political standings with Sudan to improve the situation for the people there.

好了。 到下一次见。 bye bye.
