In today's class , we first reviewed what we learned last week. This included the 8 Chinese characters: 大, 小, 云, 卫, 你, 好, 我, 叫. One of the homework for this week is to read lesson 1 from the textbook everyday and try to cover the Pinyin part while reading the characters.
Today we started to learned Pinyin (拼音). We learned 4 initials (first part of the pinyin): d (image the sound of the horse), n (there will has a vibrate on your nose when you trying to say this), h (喝水 "drinking water"), and x (cut the watermelon). Also, we learned four final consonants (second part of the pinyin): a (open your mouth wide when u triying to say this), o ( the sound of the roster makes early in the morning), i ( 衣服"clothes"), and ao (袄 " heavy coat"). And then the teacher putted some vowel and final consonant together to make some words: daˋ(big 大), niˇ( you 你), haˇo (good 好),and xiaˇo (small 小).
After we finished learning the pinyin, we started to learn Sheng Diao(声调). Sheng diao is the sound the Chinese characters make, crucial to learning Chinese. There has four Sheng Diao: --, ˊ, ˇ,ˋ. We practiced Pinyin and Sheng Diao on the textbook page 5 and page 6 in class.
At the last part of the class, we were singing the colors song we learned last week. Also, we read again the book we read on the first day of the class. The little panda meet other animals and introducing themselves.
*Homework: read lesson 1 from the textbook everyday and try to read both the character and Pinyin parts. Also, complete the practice book A page 1 -3. Next week we will start lesson 2 so it will be halpful if you can preview the text.
