Last Saturday we had some serious practice on the tones, and through the "guess what it means" game at the end of the class, we learned what a difference tones can make!!!
Class 5 I will ask you to print the following items and bring them with you to the classroom:
1) Vowels and Consonants in Hanyu Pinyin (汉语拼音声母和韵母)
2) Sound Chart (拼音表)
Although the chart looks kind of boring, we will always have innovative ways to make it fun :) Can't tell you what we're going to do in the class just yet…you'll find out when you get there.
Since we didn't have time for the love words, let's see if we will do at least one of these this Saturday. We will also practice the numbers 0~10 we learned last weekend.
爱 (ài) - love (v.)
爱情 (ài qíng) - love (n.)
情人节 (qíng rén jié) - Valentine's Day
浪漫 (làng màn) - romantic or romance
我爱你 (wǒ ài nǐ) - I love you
Darla and Ken are out of town but they still let us use the room, THANKS SO MUCH!!!
