Lesson 5: nationalities and languages 1.

Memorizing, memorizing, memorizing…

Let’s go with countries, nationalities and languages.

As writing is so difficult and in order not to overwhelm us, I have just included a few countries. In fact, in classes we have only learnt Spain, China, England and Germany, but I have added a couple more: France and USA.

Lesson 4: pronouns.

Let’s begin with something a bit more difficult: subject and object pronouns.

In Chinese they use the same form for the subject pronoum and the object pronoun.

Lesson 3: the months of the year.

You count on these too.

You say month月/yuè /.

Lesson 2: The days of the week.

Let’s go on with another listing.

You may learn the week by counting.

You say week星期/Xīngqí/

Lesson 1: numbers 1 to 99.

There is always a good beginning for a foreign language: numbers.

 In Chinese numbers follow decimal rules strictly, that is:

• For units we have numbers for 0 to 10.
• From 10 on we count as follows: tens + TEN + units

Presentation.

Mi name is Mar. I live in a small village in Ourense (Spain) and I like learning (nearly no matter what). This year I am determined to start with the difficult goal of learning Chinese. I have never visited China, though it is in my list, but I have travelled to several Asian countries with a huge amount of Chinese population. I am in love with Asia and that is the main reason why I want to learn the language.
