Ni hao! Well, we have officially ended week two and I would say it was a success! We furthered our learning on a couple different aspects of the Chinese Language. On Monday, we took a checkup on our learning process. The first part of that was listening to pinyin and seeing if we could match the voice with the correct word choice. I only missed one problem in that section which was exciting! The next section was matching the pinyin to the english meaning which was not too bad. Lastly (the hardest section in my opinion) was choosing the right Hanzi for its pinyin.
After that, we took notes on hanzi and practiced some of the stroke orders and names. We also learned some new greetings such as wo ai ni, wo e le, wo re le, wan shang, wangshang, and zaoshanghao.
Wednesday's class also began with a checkup and we had to listen to the pinyin word and write it out in pinyin on paper. The next section was reorganizing the sentence, laoshi, shi, bu, wo and placing it in the correct order of wo bu shi laoshi. The last part was rearranging the hanzi to form a sentence. After we went over that, we practiced our hanzi and stroke orders by writing out different words in the hanzi form.
Friday, we went over the greetings and had an oral conversation with our partners. We also went over the proper way to answer specific questions such as "You wenti ma? and how to answer that. Lastly we did some hanzi and reviewed strokes and such
Overall I would say it has been a succesful week, this weekend when I was in Madison, Wisconsin there was a Chinese festival that featured different tents that had Chinese crafts. There was also a show that they put on and it had a huge dragon that they danced and sang with! It was really cool! Although I missed a couple problems on the checkup, it is all about making mistakes and learning from them! Hope to have a great week next week!
Zai Jian!
