In this lesson, we also practiced the sounds that we will later make into pinyin and then the actual words that make up the Chinese language. We continued to practice the tones also with sounds similar to those below.
ji qi xi
zi ci si
Saying hello is pronounced Ni3 hao3. 你好！
我叫皓月。
我叫大伟。
我叫王家明。
The above are examples of saying, "I'm called ____." This is pronounced: wo3 jiao4 _____.
A common response after greeting would be:
我很高兴认识你。
wo3hen3gao1xing4ren4shi2ni3.
I'm pleased to meet you.
Other greetings discussed in class were Good Morning and Good Evening.
早上好！ zao3shang4hao3
晚上好！ wan3shang4hao3
Historical point:
China has a history dating back thousands of years. The Emperor Qinshihuang was the first Chinese Emperor to unify China and create the succession of dynasties that lasted for more than 4000 years.
This emperor completed this through the sword. He conquered and destroyed all opposing states through military force.
