How to pronunce this word “干”, -a question asked in Chinese Skype Lessons.
This word with different tone have different meanings, if “干” with first tone（gān）, the meaning is “ no water or less water” or “empty”, if “干” with fouth tone（gàn）, it means“do” or the main part of
something.Interesting word learned in Skype Chinese Lessons.
in the picture you showd, most of “干” is with the first tone, meaning the food without water or less. but the last one“请勿干烧” means empty, the whole phrase is tell you do not burn the kettle without
water in it.

is important. Your speed of recognition will increase as you become more used to reading Chinese characters.

Top question for today's Chinese skype Lessons: Is Cantonese harder to learn than Mandarin Chinese?It’s not. There are far more resources for learning Mandarin, far more speakers of the language and
it’s a lot easier in terms of the tones. In Mandarin’s 4 tones, absolute pitch barely matters. If the direction of the pitch change is right, people can understand your tones. Cantonese has 7 tones,
though! A high level pitch is very different from a mid level pitch.

Chinese Skpye Lessons tip: what is the difference between 非常好 and 很好？ great question for Chinese Skype Lessons. 非常好 (fēicháng hǎo) means very good. 很好 (hěn hǎo) means the same thing but to a lesser
degree.
In practice, 很好 is regularly used to mean "good" rather than "very good" so the strength of the word is a bit diluted. This is why 非常好 comes in handy.

prowess, so even if you’re just thinking of learning Mandarin for fun, even that will be useful in the long-run, Chinese Skype lessons are good choices.A second language looks very good on job
applications, because it shows you are capable of learning, that you’re open-minded, and it offers them a resource they may have never been able to tap into before (maybe they wanted to branch out
but had no one who spoke another language to do it).

Chinese Skype Lesson question:Is it enough to just learn pinyin to work in Mainland China?Very practical question for those who take Chinese Skype lessons.
I’ve been teaching Chinese to foreigners for years, so I think I can offer some insight.
In response to your question, you don’t learn Mandarin by osmosis. There’s a myth that simply by being surrounded by another language, you’ll absorb it and learn it. Not true. You’ll pick up some
small things, but if you don’t put in a concerted effort to learn, that’s all you’ll pick up. There are a lot of foreigners who come to China and never bother to study the language. I discourage
this. Please study Chinese if you visit!
#186
Tian(Sunday, 09 July 2017 04:45)
Continused: Chinese Skype Lesson question:Is it enough to just learn pinyin to work in Mainland China? If you want to learn you have to practice, and you should have a qualified teacher. Mandarin is
not a language conducive to self-study, particularly when it comes to speaking it. There’s no way you’ll be able to master the Chinese spoken tones without having a teacher to help you along. Finding
a teacher has never been easier, and online classes allow you to study on your schedule, so Chinese Skype lessons are ideal for you to start.
#187
Tian(Sunday, 09 July 2017 04:50)
Continused: Chinese Skype Lesson question:Is it enough to just learn pinyin to work in Mainland China?
As for pinyin, no, it is not enough. A single pinyin syllable represents many Chinese characters. In simple sentences it is fine, but you’ll quickly find that it doesn’t take long for pinyin to
become useless beyond that. Pinyin isn’t meant to be a replacement for Chinese characters, it’s meant to help students learn to speak Chinese. I wrote more about the purpose of pinyin over
here.
Hopefully that answers your question. Again, I strongly recommend finding a teacher to take Skype Chinese lessons at www.tianchinesehome.com !

Chinese Skype lessons tip: Why Chinese people try to "hit the car" when they need to go outside? That's a great question for Chinese Skype lessons. Actually, "hit the car"means"打车" in Chinese
according to the surface. However, both of them are not the same. As a matter of fact, if we want to translate the actual meaning of "打车", we need to say "call the taxi" in English. "打" doesn't
always mean hit or hurt. Why we say "打车" instead of "搭车" is that its pronunciation was influenced by Cantonese long long time ago. With the rapid development as well as the need of communication
among different parts of China, the expression of "打车"（call a taxi）spreaded to the mainland. Therefore, most of us don't say "搭车" but "打车".

positive. So the number nine in both month and day create the Double Ninth Festival, or Chongyang Festival. Chong in Chinese means "double." Also, as double ninth was pronounced the same as the word
to signify "forever", both are "Jiu Jiu," the Chinese ancestors considered it an auspicious day worth celebration. That's why ancient Chinese began to celebrate this festival long time ago.
The custom of ascending a height to avoid epidemics was passed down from long time ago. Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is also called "Height Ascending Festival". The height people will reach
is usually a mountain or a tower. Ancient literary figures have left many poems depicting the activity. Even today, people still swarm to famous or little known mountains on this day.
This is today's Chinese Skype Lesson.

Chinese Skype lessons question:What are the biggest challenges in learning Chinese?I'd like to share my online student 's idea from tianchinesehome Chinese Skype lessons: For me, it must be the four
tones.I have been learning Chinese for several years and now I am not good at this tone part as well.
Unlike languages like English, in Chinese how you pronounce a sound dictates what that sound means. This would be something similar to where you place the stress on a word in English changing its
meaning. For this reason, Chinese is considered a tonal language. Standard Chinese recognizes four tones: high, rising, falling-rising and falling. It is a little like singing while speaking. For
most, mastering the tones takes years of trial and error. Why? Well, there are just certain sounds that exist in Chinese that don’t exist in other languages.

Chinese Skype Lesson tip: "服务至上" （service paramount) In today's Chinese Skype lesson, 瑷郆 and I read some materials about service and she's confused by this word.Apparently, "服务" means "service", "至上"
means "supreme" or "the highest". Therefore,the word means that an enterprise or company puts service in the top position.
We can also substitute other words for “服务” such as："金钱至上" “爱情至上” “理性至上”. Now you can make lots of words.

Chinese Skype Lessons tip：In this Chinese Skype Lessons tip，we will continue talking about Chinese traditional architectures. In Fujian Province, 土楼(the earth building) is very common. Building by
Hakka,土楼has long history. It has many shapes, circular, square, semicircular, pentagon and so on. That ensures the closure of the building. When the enemy attacked, people lived in the building just
closed the door and the building would become a firm bastion. Actually, the invention of the earth building is just for the purpose of resisting the enemy.

Chinese Skype Lessons tip：In this Chinese Skype Lessons tip，we will continue talking about Chinese traditional architectures 吊脚楼 (diao jiao lou). 吊脚楼 is quite different from 土楼.吊脚楼is traditional
dwellings of Miao nationality , Tujia ethnic minority and other minority nationalities. It is said that ancestors of Tujia ethnic minority moved to western Hubei and found that there were many snakes
and scorpions. This made them very worried. At last, they found a good way. They build the house on stilts so that the house was over the ground. So 吊脚楼was born. Year by year, 吊脚楼 becomes their
ethnic flavor.

Chinese Skype Lessons tip：In this Chinese Skype Lessons tip，we will talk about Chinese traditional festival 寒食节（Cold Food Festival）. Cold Food Festival is one day before the Qingming Festival. This
festival comes from a historical story. In Spring and Autumn Period, a minister named介子推 helped his monarch be enthroned. His monarch was very grateful for him and wanted to reward him. But at that
time, 介子推 didn’t want to get it. Because he had been a hermit in a mountain with his old mother. However, the monarch came to the mountain and hoped that 介子推 could accept the award. He asked people
to look for 介子推. But it was too vast to find. Then he got a really awful idea, that is burning down the mountain. In his mind, 介子推would escape from the mountain and then them would meet. Actually,
介子推died in the mountain, with his old mother. So the monarch demanded that no one was allowed to light up on this day ,and in honour of 介子推 people could only eat cold food. That is Cold Food
Festival. After hearing this story, maybe we will be doubt. Why could the monarch come up with that bad idea? Why would介子推choose to die rather than accept the prize? Perhaps there were some political
reasons we don’t know. But one thing is certain, the monarch must had regretted it.

During the Chinese Skype Lessons, 佳怡 was learning how to write the words. In the pass time, I often taught her some words in the book, but now, I prefer to let her know the words not only in books,

Chinese Skype Lessons tip：Do you know what day is tomorrow? It is 七夕，Chinese Valentine's Day . In this Chinese Skype Lessons tip，we will talk about Chinese traditional festival 七夕（Magpie Festival）.
Magpie Festival is named Double Seventh Festival, too. Because it is in Lunar calendar July seven. Why Chinese views it as Valentine's Day? There is a love story about the Cowherd and Girl Weaver.
Girl Weaver was said the granddaughter of the Queen of Heaven. The colorful cloud was her masterpiece. She was asked to weave cloud in the sky day by day. One day, she escaped and met a cowherd (we
name him 牛郎). They fell in love and got married. Soon they had a son and a daughter. But Girl Weaver’s grandmother knew this quickly and was very angry. Girl Weaver’s was recaptured to Heaven. The
Cowherd and their kids followed her. While the Queen of Heaven ripped open a river between them. That is the Milky Way. The Cowherd and Girl Weaver became two stars. They couldn’t meet until Double
Seventh Festival. On that day, all Magpies would come to help them. It’s said that they would get together and make a magpie bridge. People will pray for a good love to Girl Weaver. Best wishes for
you tomorrow!

Chinese Skype Lessons tip：welcome back! Today is Chinese Valentine's Day. Do you know what Chinese people do today? In Chinese tradition, 七夕 is a very ceremonious festival. Especially for ladies.
Yesterday, I said people would pray for a good love. Girls will pray to Girl Weaver for capacity about weaving,too. Because a good wife was asked to good at weaving. They would play a game about
threading needles. The woman who threaded fastest, was said that she got the capacity from Girl Weaver. And people would grab a spider into a box. If it bears a big and thick net, it's very
auspicious. Females would wash their hair that day. Because we believe that on that day the water is very clean because it comes from the Milky Way. If you wash your hair, you will get good luck.
Nowadays, with the progress of our society, people no longer believe in superstition. Many traditional customs are discarded. But one thing people couldn’t forget. That is love.

My student 那吾 took the class more seriously than before in today's Chinese Skype class. When we talked about “一滴水”， he was confused why we don’t say “一颗水”. I really wanted to cry and laugh when he
asked that. Because it is a set phrase in Chinese. I hope he will have a better understanding of Chinese words and phrases in Chinese Skype Lessons.

Chinese Skype Lessons tip：In this Chinese Skype Lessons tip，we will talk about Chinese traditional festival 中元节（Hungry Ghost Festival）. In China, the Lantern Festival, in the 15th of the first lunar
month, is also named上元节. Hungry Ghost Festival is in the 15th of the seventh lunar month, so we name it 中元节. And 下元节 is in the 15th of the October lunar month .In Japan, 中元节 is called Obon Festival.
Hungry Ghost Festival is a festival related to Buddhism. It is said that on that day the door of hell will open and all ghosts would be allowed to go to the world. Therefore, we call it 鬼节（Hungry

Recently, 佳怡 is learning the new lesson in Chinese Skype Lesson. We talked about a Chinese ldiom story called 南辕北辙, which means that somebody do something at opposite poles. Besides, I taught her a
word like "怎么" to ask questions. One meaning is to ask HOW, another is to ask WHY. When I let her try to make two sentences in the Chinese Skype Lesson, she gave me one of the sentence like
"你怎么走得那么慢？" （Why do you walk so slowly?）,which recalled me a joke such as "你怎么走得那么慢？""因为我腿短啊。"（Because I have a short legs.）. I was so happy to make her think it is funny to learn in Chinese Skype
Lesson although the joke maybe cold.

In today's Chinese Skype Lesson, 恩诗 and I talked about her school expecially the buildings. She just wore braces, so she could not speak fluently. However, it was gratified to see that she tried her
best to have the Chinese Skype Lesson and she did make a progress in the class. Because we talked about her school today, we drew a simple map of it together. Then, I asked her to talked with me by
using the sentences we learnt, such as "你去哪儿?"（Where do you go?）"我去……"（I go to……）and so on. When she told me the routes, I would draw in the picture. It is really a good way to help her speak and
remember the words and sentences in the Chinese Skype Lesson. What's more, I was so glad to see that she liked and enjoy this learning method.

After about two weeks I couldn't see 小昆兄弟 in the Chinese Skype Lesson, finally they got a camera today. They looked good and it is pleasure for me to see them when I had the Chinese Skype Lesson.
Because I could know what they feel by watching their expression. In order to make them use the words that they learned, I tried to ask them to make more sentences with the words. The older brothers,
小昆 and 小厅, did this job very well, but the little one, 小帕, looked not very consentrated. Actually, he remembered the words cuase when I texted him by playing a game, he could do well. However, he did
not give me so much reaction in the Chinese Skype Lesson. Maybe I need to find more interesting learning methods to help him to be more consentrated in the Chinese Skype Lesson.

What is your great advice on Chinese Skype Lessons?It is quite a challenge for non-native speakers to find the tones for the characters when you have Chinese Skype lessons,and my suggestion for that
is to read poems, loudly. Usually Tang or Song poems are good for Chinese Skype Lessons. The learner should read the tones precisely as what the poem should be pronounced, otherwise, the beauty of
the poem is lost. There are some advantages in such training.
First, these poems are short, they are not like sonnets or other verses that may contain hundreds of words. Usually 20, 28, 40, 56 character (there are longer poems but that is not practical in this
case). It takes very short time in memorizing the reading of one poem before trying another.
#339
张斯淇(Monday, 18 September 2017 03:45)
By learning and practicing in Chinese Skype Lesson, 小昆 and 小帕 could use the Chinese characters which describe the weather and seasons to make some sentences. What's more, it is great to see that 小昆
could infer other sentences from one word or sentences in the Chinese Skype Lesson. However, 小帕, the little brother, he was still not very concentrated. Although he was watching the camera and looked
like he's thinking, he didn't really answer my questions. At the same time, he was making funny face though it was really cute. Actually, I hope they could learn Chinese with pleasure in Chinese
Skype Lesson. So, we need to keep trying.

years old, but she will go to Harvard University to learn the medicine and to Yale Unversity to learn the law next year. It is amazing that a little girl could do this. Recently, she also attended a
play on Beoadway. When we talked about the show, she was excited. So, I tried to make her to know some words and helped her to share her experience in Chinese. It is a new and good beginning for

In today's Chinese Skype Lesson,DingJie asked me a question about the distinguish of 刚，刚刚 and 刚才.Actually,they all mean just or just now.Firstly，刚刚 means a moment ago,for example,“他刚刚走。”.This
sentence means he left just now.At the meanwhile，刚 and 刚才 are the same. Secondly，“这件T恤刚刚好。”.This sentence means this T-shirt is just suitable.We can't say “这件T恤刚才好。”.If you want to say “这件衣服刚好。”，the
first sentence is the best.

Chinese Skype Lesson tip: Chinese slang,此地无银三百两（cǐ dì wú yín sānbǎi liǎng）
This slang comes from an interesting story.
Once upon a time, there’s a rich man, he has a lot of money. Then he buried three hundred Liang of silver in his farmland. In case someone would steal it, he wrote a note, read”There’s no three
hundred liang of silver here.”
Then, Wang Er, the neighbour of the rich man, saw the note and stole the silver. But he was afraid the rich man will know he stole it. So he left a note, read”Your neighbour Wang Er didn’t steal your
silver”.

that she wouldn't pay more attention on class. However she did a good job although she was playing her slime when we had the Chinese Skype Lesson. Because I taught her a new story called
"贝贝的球”（Beibei's ball）,I asked her make her slime into a ball and tried to compare her slime ball and Bei's ball. It is good to see that she was interested in Chinese Skype Lesson because she could do

traditional festivals. Then we played this game. And 子翘 was very interested in it. By this way he got many new characters. Today I also played a game with 心翘. 心翘is good at painting. She drew animals
and asked me to guess what they are. I modelled myself on animal’s voice and let her guess what animal it is. She was so smart that doped out the right answer quickly.I asked her some questions about
that animal. If she didn’t know,I would talk about corresponding knowledge with her. I really hope that they can learn Chinese when playing in Chinese Skype Lessons.

Chinese Skype Lesson tip: 但愿人长久，千里共婵娟 （May we all be blessed with longevity. Though far apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together.）In today's Chinese Skype lesson, I asked 柏力
if he know what festival we are celebrating in this week, he answered “国庆节” and "中秋节". Then I asked about the customs of "中秋节", he said "看月亮" and "吃月饼". I reminded him that we could use "赏月". 柏力 is a
storyteller,he told me the story of "嫦娥奔月".Later, I shared one of my favourtie sentences 但愿人长久，千里共婵娟,you can use it instead of 中秋快乐.

In Chinese Skype Lesson,a person learning Chinese can drive a whole family to learn Chinese.Why do I say that? Ryan and Amy are siblings，they learn Chinese togther in Chinese Skype Lesson.Many times
we have a dialog about sentence pattern,I will ask them to take their brother or sister as an example,which makes the meanings easier.
Besides,they can dialogue with each other in Chinese when the class is over .So a learning partner makes learning easier and more interesting.

joke that he maybe got some Tianjin dialects.At last,I asked a question :橙子、葡萄、荔枝，那个最便宜？ （Which is the most cheapest among oranges graps and lichi ?）I didn't expect he can understand the question and

Chinese Skype lesson,we talked about the extented use of “出来”， for example "想出来"、“写出来”，He's really confused at first,thinking what exactely “出来” means, later I give hime some sentences like
"你听不听得出来我是谁",it's better but still difficult for him.I think I need to find some more accessible way to let him understand the grammare.

My Chinese Skype Lesson with 宇腾 today is very interesting.We learned part 2 of Unit 3,it's about clothes and colors,we learned several adjective to describe clothes,such as "长" “短” “厚”“薄”，and also
the measure word "条" “套”“件”.The funny part is, when we were talking about colors,i gave him a phrase"ɡěi nǐ diǎn yán sè kàn kan",he said he can understand every character in it,but still no idea what
it means.I told him it means "Teach somebody a lesson",you used it when somebody pissed you off,he suddnely bursted into laughter.I am very glad that he thinks learning Chinese is very
interesting.Also,during the Chinese Skype lesson,I found that he can make a better connection between English and Chinese.For example like T恤 and 夹克，he knew exacterly what it meant after he read it.I
think that's a step forward.

梅百丽 is a girl who likes singing and reciting. However, she pronounce some characters incorrectly. Therefore in her Chinese Skype Lesson, I am asked to correct her pronunciation again and again, which
would make some students lose the interest to learn Chinese. Actually, her prononciation is not bad although she do cannot read some words correctly. However, it seems that she enjoyed to learn some
characters and sentences and to repeat the them in the Chinese Skype Lesson. Hope I can help her learn what she want to learn in the Chinese Skype Lesson.

Chinese Skype Lesson Tip: 手足 （shǒu zú ) Let's look at some sentences first.
1.人们有时会感觉手足冰冷，尤其是在冬天。
Everyone gets cold hands and feet sometimes, especially during winter
2.他和我情同手足
We were like brothers.
So,literally “手” means hand,“足” means foot."手足" can be translated as hands and feet,just like the first sentence.
In addition,we all know that hands and feet are part of our body,they are related to each other and inseparable.Therefore, people refer to brothers as "手足",because of their intimated
relationship.
Get it now? Try using "手足" to make a sentence during the Chinese Skype Lesson!

柏力 didn't have class last Thursday cuz it's Thanksgiving Day,but on the beginning of today's Chinese Skype class,he shared his Thanksgiving dinner with me.I am always wondering how turkey tastes
like...Besides,we talked about some differences in life between Americans and Chinese.
For example:
1.Chinese people don't like to drink water with ice,because we think that it's harmful to our stomach. However American people find hot water disgusting,it's not even tea.Surprisingly,柏力 said he like
hot water.
2.Chinese people like to wear slippers indoors.Americans prefer barefoot,sometimes even shoes, but to Asian people especially Japanese is unacceptable.
3.Most of the Americans don't mind if they live near the tomb or not.Well, it's not gonna happen in China,people would think it's inauspicious.
That's all for today's Chinese online class,we learned more about Chinese culture, understood each other's custom.

柏力 was really busy recently, he told me that he woke up at 4 this morning. So today's Chinese Skype Lesson is kind of easy. He told me about his trip in China 4 months ago, the experiences he got and
the culture shock he met. First of all, after he arrived in HK , he spoke Cantonese to the taxi drive while the taxi driver replied in English, that's kind of funny. Then he got a trouble in
Guangzhou railway station, cause there is no pedestal toilet there. He also found out that the street in Guangzhou is much wider than in US, and much bent as well which make him lost easily. But I
think 柏力 is a genius, he didn't use the navigation software, he figured out all the way himself, thought he got lost sometimes. More fortunately, he speaks mandarin very well, so it's also a very
good way to practice your spoken Chinese. You know another good way to practice your spoken Chinese? Came to have Chinese Skype Lesson with us!

tai chi in the morning", I said.Then 柏力 told me that,in US many old people don't want to be babysitter,they prefer freedom.He emphasized FREEDOM.Anyhow,I hope all the elderly,either Chinese or US,

柏力 is always ready for the Chinese Skype lesson in advance for an hour.Before the Chinese Skype lesson,he told me that he's learning Chinese to prevent dementia,then he started to play the "Who am I
" game. Although he always says that he's an old man,deep in his heart, he's still an vigorous and humorous young man.To put it in an Internet buzzword,he's a “戏精”. Unlike some others, he's really
interested in Chinese language and cultures,he try to speak Chinese as much as he can."我和中国人情同手足" he said.I am very honored to have him as my student.

Chinese Skype Lesson：It's the first time for me to teach 子翘 and 心翘. Before this class, the heart is very nervous, but it is very expected. Because the brothers and sisters are really polite, smart
and cute. Knowing that both brothers and sisters like skiing very much, I told 心翘 some snow on the skiing field, which came from two kinds of snow and artificial snow. 子翘 and I reviewed the little
story of the turtles and hare races, and I heard another version of the tortoise and rabbit race, and then we guessed some of the sea and the animals on the land. But because of my reasons, I didn't
give them a good lesson today. I'll try harder next time to make them happier and more useful through Chinese Skype Lesson.

you friends start to talk about it again, then you can use "你又来了"（there you go again）. In this way, 柏力 can understand very clearly. That's all for today's Chinese Skype Lesson.

Chinese Skype Lesson: The construction "就是...也...".
In this construction,"就是" introduces a condition or concession, and “也” is used to indicate that the result is not affected by the previous situation.For example,
1.就是21世纪生活也得艰苦朴素
2.就是没钱买米，我也不借债
3.明天就是下大雨，我也要去餐馆展览
At the first sight,柏力 thought "就是" means “exactly”, like in the sentence "没错，就是我", I told him that in this sentence it's better to translate into "even if",then I give him more examples, kept
practising and practising, now he know how to use this contruction.Of course at the next Chinese Skype Lesson,we will review it again.As we all know,language can only be mastered through repeated
practice.

周雅含(Friday, 02 March 2018 09:18)
Chinese Skype Lesson:Today, I showed 子翘 and 心翘 a pair of chopsticks. And I said to 子翘，in Chinese , we usually say 一双筷子（a pair of chopsticks）but not 两双筷子 (two chopsticks). We played games. I asked
them some questions about the application classifiers, such as 一（）月牙，一（）泉水 and so on. Of course sometime I would give them some tips. I told them in Chinese,classifiers(量词) is a little difficult and
thoes questions has more than one answer. For example, if water in a cup,we said a cup of water(一杯水)， if water in a bottle,we said a bottle of water(一瓶水).But when I picked up the water, I would say a
handful of water (一捧水). 子翘 is very clever. He asked me a lot of questions: How about a camputer(一台电脑)? a mobile phone（一台手机）? HA,ha.When 心翘 knowed that my chopsticks are made from ceramics, she was
curious. Usually Chinese chopsticks are made from bamboo or wood. And 心翘 showed me her ceramic cup made by herself. She is a capable child.

people think that it's very strange to have this kind of festival, then I asked 柏力, it so happened that 柏力 was a history teacher, he told me some Poland history, about the social status of women.
During this Chinese Skype lesson, we learned lesson 35, there was a new word "享受" which means enjoy, 柏力 said that there is another word “同乐” in his dictionary means enjoy together, therefore I
corrected him that "同乐" is only used when someone wish you something,for example someone says "Happy New Year" to you,you can say "同乐，同乐！"

said that he's not a “零起点" learner, he already learned Chinese for one year,besides he has Chinese friends to practice with.I am very impressed by his pronunciation. We learned four pattern drills,
the first one was to ask about numbers "有多少...”, the second one is "够...的", means it's really...or quite...,for example "够热的"、"够累的", it can emphasis "热" or "累" ,we practiced a lot,I am sure he can
remember it well.

Chinese Skype Lesson: Recently, 佳怡 is learning more and more Chinese characters, for example "揉 柔" " 睁 争", these two pairs of characters have something in common, "柔" is the right part of "揉",
besides they got the same pronunciation. I told 佳怡 sometimes you can remember characters like this,but sometimes you can't. In my opinion, 佳怡 is a very hardworking girl, even though we only have two
classes for now, every time we do a dictation, she can write it well. I asked her about how she spend the weekend, she said that she didn't go anywhere,just stay at home and study.
#436
Liu(Thursday, 15 March 2018 02:47)
Chinese Skype Lesson: For now, 佳怡 already finished the text book, from this class on, we started to review all the characters she had learned before. During the Chinese Skype Lesson, we reviewed 11
characters, at the beginning I showed her a pic,which was related to one of the characters, it reminded 佳怡 of the character and enriched her imagination. After all these practicing, I found that 佳怡
is very familiar with those characters, she could figured it out with 5 seconds, more importantly she could wrote all the characters in the right way, she's a hardworking girl. Besides giving a
picture, I also gave her a sentence to read, to have a better understanding of how to use it.Nice try! 佳怡
#437
Liu(Friday, 16 March 2018 02:17)
Chinese Skype Lesson: On today's Chinese Skype Lesson,柏力 read an article named "高薪穷人族" ,at the beginning 柏力 is confused about "高薪" ,he thought that it meant somebody who is tall, I explained that
"高薪" means "很高的薪水或者很高的工资",then he can get it. 柏力 also had problem with "族"，in that phrase ,"族" means a group of people with similar points.For example,"啃老族" 、“月光族” “上班族”........ Later, we started to
learn the new words of Lesson 36, there was a new word "最好" means "had better..." ,柏力 said he thought that "最好" means the best. I agreed with him,I said that when it's adj.,"最好" means the best, like
"你是我见过最好的学生". But when it's adv.,"最好" means "had better",like "你最好别迟到". I believed that 柏力 understand all the new words, I am looking forward to meet him in our next Chinese Skype Lesson.

Chinese Skype Lesson with 罗明： I really like to have Chinese Skype Lesson with 罗明，he's very smart and always willing to learn. I was surprised at the beginning of the class, he typed "我们开始吧" in
Chinese to me on Skype, I never knew that he can type Chinese, after all he's a junior Chinese level student.During these Chinese Skype Lesson, I tried to use more Chinese sentences, most of them he
can understand, just some few phrases he didn't know, he said he have learned Chinese for one year on his own, that's impressive, he got good pronunciation and large vocabulary.Therefore, at the
moment, he need to learn more patter drill to speak standard mandarin.

#440
Liu(Friday, 23 March 2018 10:28)
Chinese Skype Lesson with 罗明 ： In today's Chinese Skype Lesson, I try to used more Chinese common expressions, for example I said " 我早上很晚才起床 ", maybe 罗明 can't say these sentence by himself, however
words by words he can put them together and figured it out.In my opinion,he already learned a lot of Chinese words,besides he had many Chinese friends to practice with. Therefore,language is not the
thing you can figure out by yourself but to use and communicate. Actually, it took few minutes for 罗明 to put all the meanings together, but once he got it,he burst out into laughter and got more
confidence on learning Chinese,this is a virtuous circle.
#441
Liu(Monday, 26 March 2018 13:22)

every characters according to the picture.Although the AP test is still difficult for her,I hope that we can learn character by character.

Skype Lesson, we reviewed 10 words from the vocabulary, I asked 佳怡 to write the Chinese down, and read the sentence without Pinyin, I found out that there were many basic characters she didn't know,

Q & A for Chinese Skype Lessons :So all 3 are valid, and depending on your situation they would work. In a more casual setting, a simple 這個怎麼念, “how do you read this” would suffice.
In Chinese, while pointing to several printed Chinese characters, how would you ask, “How do you say these characters?” Are any of the following attempts correct? 这些词怎么读？这些词怎么说？这些词怎么念？Which is more
natural sounding? More will be follwed for Chinese Skype Lesson.

prepared before the class. It's a story - 农夫与蛇. In the Chinese Skype lesson, we did quite well. I asked her to take a baby panda (a toy), and seized it in her arms like the farmer seized the snake in
his arms. Then we found the differences between holding a baby panda and a snake--the panda won't bite people but the snake will! And the fierce of the snake is key point that why the farmer finally
died. At last, I explained the inner meaning of the story and 维迪 saw light suddenly. Now, she can apply the story to real life.

Top question for today's Chinese skype Lessons: Is Cantonese harder to learn than Mandarin Chinese?It’s not. There are far more resources for learning Mandarin, far more speakers of the language and it’s a lot easier in terms of the tones. In Mandarin’s 4 tones, absolute pitch barely matters. If the direction of the pitch change is right, people can understand your tones. Cantonese has 7 tones, though! A high level pitch is very different from a mid level pitch.

Chinese Skpye Lessons tip: what is the difference between 非常好 and 很好？ great question for Chinese Skype Lessons. 非常好 (fēicháng hǎo) means very good. 很好 (hěn hǎo) means the same thing but to a lesser degree.
In practice, 很好 is regularly used to mean "good" rather than "very good" so the strength of the word is a bit diluted. This is why 非常好 comes in handy.

Chinese Skype Lesson question:Is it enough to just learn pinyin to work in Mainland China?Very practical question for those who take Chinese Skype lessons.
I’ve been teaching Chinese to foreigners for years, so I think I can offer some insight.
In response to your question, you don’t learn Mandarin by osmosis. There’s a myth that simply by being surrounded by another language, you’ll absorb it and learn it. Not true. You’ll pick up some small things, but if you don’t put in a concerted effort to learn, that’s all you’ll pick up. There are a lot of foreigners who come to China and never bother to study the language. I discourage this. Please study Chinese if you visit!
Tian (Sunday, 09 July 2017 04:45)
Continused: Chinese Skype Lesson question:Is it enough to just learn pinyin to work in Mainland China? If you want to learn you have to practice, and you should have a qualified teacher. Mandarin is not a language conducive to self-study, particularly when it comes to speaking it. There’s no way you’ll be able to master the Chinese spoken tones without having a teacher to help you along. Finding a teacher has never been easier, and online classes allow you to study on your schedule, so Chinese Skype lessons are ideal for you to start.
Tian (Sunday, 09 July 2017 04:50)
Continused: Chinese Skype Lesson question:Is it enough to just learn pinyin to work in Mainland China?
As for pinyin, no, it is not enough. A single pinyin syllable represents many Chinese characters. In simple sentences it is fine, but you’ll quickly find that it doesn’t take long for pinyin to become useless beyond that. Pinyin isn’t meant to be a replacement for Chinese characters, it’s meant to help students learn to speak Chinese. I wrote more about the purpose of pinyin over here.
Hopefully that answers your question. Again, I strongly recommend finding a teacher to take Skype Chinese lessons at www.tianchinesehome.com !

Chinese Skype lessons tip: Why Chinese people try to "hit the car" when they need to go outside? That's a great question for Chinese Skype lessons. Actually, "hit the car"means"打车" in Chinese according to the surface. However, both of them are not the same. As a matter of fact, if we want to translate the actual meaning of "打车", we need to say "call the taxi" in English. "打" doesn't always mean hit or hurt. Why we say "打车" instead of "搭车" is that its pronunciation was influenced by Cantonese long long time ago. With the rapid development as well as the need of communication among different parts of China, the expression of "打车"（call a taxi）spreaded to the mainland. Therefore, most of us don't say "搭车" but "打车".

However, few of you don't understand why Guangzhou is called YangCheng too. For there are many sheep? Of course not! As the saying goes, “五羊衔谷，萃于楚庭”. It means that in the Zhou Dynasty, Guangzhou had been sufferring from agricultural disasters and hunger for few years. One day, five celestial beings rode colourful auspicious clouds with five goats appearing in Guangzhou. And then, five celestial beings asked the goats to share their excellent earheads in their mouth with Guangzhou people and wish Guangzhou will not have more hunger and left. At last, five goats became the stone and Guangzhou became the richest city in Lingnan. Therefore, YangCheng is also used to call Guangzhou. Hope you enjoy this time of Chinese Skype lessons tip!

Hi! It's Chinese Skype Lessons again! In this Chinese Skype Lessons,I am going to talking something about Guangdong Opera to you. Guangdong Opera（“粤剧”）, is popular in Guangdong, south of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Hong Kong and Macao. Cantonese opera originated in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), beginning under the reign of the emperor Jiajing (1522-64) and developed through the centuries.

Welcome to Chinese Skype Lesson. The 9th day of the 9th lunar month is the traditional Chongyang Festival, or Double Ninth Festival. It usually falls in October in the Gregorian calendar. In an ancient and mysterious book Yi Jing, or The Book of Changes, number "6" was thought to be of Yin character, meaning feminine or negative, while number "9" was thought to be Yang, meaning masculine or positive. So the number nine in both month and day create the Double Ninth Festival, or Chongyang Festival. Chong in Chinese means "double." Also, as double ninth was pronounced the same as the word to signify "forever", both are "Jiu Jiu," the Chinese ancestors considered it an auspicious day worth celebration. That's why ancient Chinese began to celebrate this festival long time ago.
The custom of ascending a height to avoid epidemics was passed down from long time ago. Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is also called "Height Ascending Festival". The height people will reach is usually a mountain or a tower. Ancient literary figures have left many poems depicting the activity. Even today, people still swarm to famous or little known mountains on this day.
This is today's Chinese Skype Lesson.

Chinese Skype lessons question:What are the biggest challenges in learning Chinese?I'd like to share my online student 's idea from tianchinesehome Chinese Skype lessons: For me, it must be the four tones.I have been learning Chinese for several years and now I am not good at this tone part as well.
Unlike languages like English, in Chinese how you pronounce a sound dictates what that sound means. This would be something similar to where you place the stress on a word in English changing its meaning. For this reason, Chinese is considered a tonal language. Standard Chinese recognizes four tones: high, rising, falling-rising and falling. It is a little like singing while speaking. For most, mastering the tones takes years of trial and error. Why? Well, there are just certain sounds that exist in Chinese that don’t exist in other languages.

Chinese Skype Lessons tip：In today’s Chinese Skype Lessons tip，we will talk about a Chinese idiom 己所不欲，勿施于人(ji suo bu yu, wu shi yu ren) . Actually, this idiom is a thought of Confucius. It means that if you don’t like something, please don’t give it to other. For example, if you detest lies , you shouldn’t lie to others. Because others also dislike lies. This idiom teaches us we should think about others.

Chinese Skype Lessons tip：In this Chinese Skype Lessons tip，we will continue thoughts of Confucius.礼（Li）is another idea of Confucius .礼 is not 礼貌. It means 礼节. What is the difference？礼节has tougher criterion. For example, as a kid, you should show filial respect to your parents. While as a parent, you should show your kind to your kids. You should love then and set a good example. If you are a teacher or a student, you also have your own social demands and duty. Then you will find, a man who lives in society has many identities. Every identity has corresponding standards. If everyone do their best to carry out their obligations, this society will be melodious.

1·知之为知之，不知为不知，是知也。
2·学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。
3·敏而好学，不耻下问，是以谓之文也。

When the enemy attacked, people lived in the building just closed the door and the building would become a firm bastion. Actually, the invention of the earth building is just for the purpose of resisting the enemy.

Chinese Skype Lessons tip：In this Chinese Skype Lessons tip，we will talk about Chinese traditional festival 寒食节（Cold Food Festival）. Cold Food Festival is one day before the Qingming Festival. This festival comes from a historical story. In Spring and Autumn Period, a minister named介子推 helped his monarch be enthroned. His monarch was very grateful for him and wanted to reward him. But at that time, 介子推 didn’t want to get it. Because he had been a hermit in a mountain with his old mother. However, the monarch came to the mountain and hoped that 介子推 could accept the award. He asked people to look for 介子推. But it was too vast to find. Then he got a really awful idea, that is burning down the mountain. In his mind, 介子推would escape from the mountain and then them would meet. Actually, 介子推died in the mountain, with his old mother. So the monarch demanded that no one was allowed to light up on this day ,and in honour of 介子推 people could only eat cold food. That is Cold Food Festival. After hearing this story, maybe we will be doubt. Why could the monarch come up with that bad idea? Why would介子推choose to die rather than accept the prize? Perhaps there were some political reasons we don’t know. But one thing is certain, the monarch must had regretted it.

During the Chinese Skype Lessons, 佳怡 was learning how to write the words. In the pass time, I often taught her some words in the book, but now, I prefer to let her know the words not only in books, but also in her life. So it is great to see that she could understand and remember the words well in Chinese Skype Lesson. I hope the method that integrate theory with practice could help her learn more knowledge.
张斯淇 (Sunday, 27 August 2017 15:26)

Because she is a Chinese American, she understand the words what we usually speak in the life. However, she couldn't organize the language very well in Chinese Skype Lesson. I gave her some homework which could help her talk about her life, such as fingding some food, talking about family, cooking and so on. I was so glad to see that she tried to do a good job everytime. I really hope that she can speak Chinese more and more fluently not only in Chinese Skype Lesson but in her life.

Chinese Skype Lessons tip：Do you know what day is tomorrow? It is 七夕，Chinese Valentine's Day . In this Chinese Skype Lessons tip，we will talk about Chinese traditional festival 七夕（Magpie Festival）. Magpie Festival is named Double Seventh Festival, too. Because it is in Lunar calendar July seven. Why Chinese views it as Valentine's Day? There is a love story about the Cowherd and Girl Weaver. Girl Weaver was said the granddaughter of the Queen of Heaven. The colorful cloud was her masterpiece. She was asked to weave cloud in the sky day by day. One day, she escaped and met a cowherd (we name him 牛郎). They fell in love and got married. Soon they had a son and a daughter. But Girl Weaver’s grandmother knew this quickly and was very angry. Girl Weaver’s was recaptured to Heaven. The Cowherd and their kids followed her. While the Queen of Heaven ripped open a river between them. That is the Milky Way. The Cowherd and Girl Weaver became two stars. They couldn’t meet until Double Seventh Festival. On that day, all Magpies would come to help them. It’s said that they would get together and make a magpie bridge. People will pray for a good love to Girl Weaver. Best wishes for you tomorrow!

Chinese Skype Lessons tip：welcome back! Today is Chinese Valentine's Day. Do you know what Chinese people do today? In Chinese tradition, 七夕 is a very ceremonious festival. Especially for ladies. Yesterday, I said people would pray for a good love. Girls will pray to Girl Weaver for capacity about weaving,too. Because a good wife was asked to good at weaving. They would play a game about threading needles. The woman who threaded fastest, was said that she got the capacity from Girl Weaver. And people would grab a spider into a box. If it bears a big and thick net, it's very auspicious. Females would wash their hair that day. Because we believe that on that day the water is very clean because it comes from the Milky Way. If you wash your hair, you will get good luck. Nowadays, with the progress of our society, people no longer believe in superstition. Many traditional customs are discarded. But one thing people couldn’t forget. That is love.

My student 那吾 took the class more seriously than before in today's Chinese Skype class. When we talked about “一滴水”， he was confused why we don’t say “一颗水”. I really wanted to cry and laugh when he asked that. Because it is a set phrase in Chinese. I hope he will have a better understanding of Chinese words and phrases in Chinese Skype Lessons.

Chinese Skype Lessons tip：In this Chinese Skype Lessons tip，we will talk about Chinese traditional festival 中元节（Hungry Ghost Festival）. In China, the Lantern Festival, in the 15th of the first lunar month, is also named上元节. Hungry Ghost Festival is in the 15th of the seventh lunar month, so we name it 中元节. And 下元节 is in the 15th of the October lunar month .In Japan, 中元节 is called Obon Festival. Hungry Ghost Festival is a festival related to Buddhism. It is said that on that day the door of hell will open and all ghosts would be allowed to go to the world. Therefore, we call it 鬼节（Hungry Ghost Festival）. Different from Halloween, Hungry Ghost Festival is more serious. People will offer sacrifices to their ancestors. Because we believe our ancestors’ ghost will come back that day. But what about the ghosts without family or posterity? They also will be offer sacrifices.

Recently, 佳怡 is learning the new lesson in Chinese Skype Lesson. We talked about a Chinese ldiom story called 南辕北辙, which means that somebody do something at opposite poles. Besides, I taught her a word like "怎么" to ask questions. One meaning is to ask HOW, another is to ask WHY. When I let her try to make two sentences in the Chinese Skype Lesson, she gave me one of the sentence like "你怎么走得那么慢？" （Why do you walk so slowly?）,which recalled me a joke such as "你怎么走得那么慢？""因为我腿短啊。"（Because I have a short legs.）. I was so happy to make her think it is funny to learn in Chinese Skype Lesson although the joke maybe cold.
张斯淇 (Friday, 15 September 2017 15:54)
In today's Chinese Skype Lesson, 恩诗 and I talked about her school expecially the buildings. She just wore braces, so she could not speak fluently. However, it was gratified to see that she tried her best to have the Chinese Skype Lesson and she did make a progress in the class. Because we talked about her school today, we drew a simple map of it together. Then, I asked her to talked with me by using the sentences we learnt, such as "你去哪儿?"（Where do you go?）"我去……"（I go to……）and so on. When she told me the routes, I would draw in the picture. It is really a good way to help her speak and remember the words and sentences in the Chinese Skype Lesson. What's more, I was so glad to see that she liked and enjoy this learning method.
张斯淇 (Saturday, 16 September 2017 09:20)
After about two weeks I couldn't see 小昆兄弟 in the Chinese Skype Lesson, finally they got a camera today. They looked good and it is pleasure for me to see them when I had the Chinese Skype Lesson. Because I could know what they feel by watching their expression. In order to make them use the words that they learned, I tried to ask them to make more sentences with the words. The older brothers, 小昆 and 小厅, did this job very well, but the little one, 小帕, looked not very consentrated. Actually, he remembered the words cuase when I texted him by playing a game, he could do well. However, he did not give me so much reaction in the Chinese Skype Lesson. Maybe I need to find more interesting learning methods to help him to be more consentrated in the Chinese Skype Lesson.
Tian (Saturday, 16 September 2017 11:17)
What is your great advice on Chinese Skype Lessons?It is quite a challenge for non-native speakers to find the tones for the characters when you have Chinese Skype lessons,and my suggestion for that is to read poems, loudly. Usually Tang or Song poems are good for Chinese Skype Lessons. The learner should read the tones precisely as what the poem should be pronounced, otherwise, the beauty of the poem is lost. There are some advantages in such training.
First, these poems are short, they are not like sonnets or other verses that may contain hundreds of words. Usually 20, 28, 40, 56 character (there are longer poems but that is not practical in this case). It takes very short time in memorizing the reading of one poem before trying another.
张斯淇 (Monday, 18 September 2017 03:45)
By learning and practicing in Chinese Skype Lesson, 小昆 and 小帕 could use the Chinese characters which describe the weather and seasons to make some sentences. What's more, it is great to see that 小昆 could infer other sentences from one word or sentences in the Chinese Skype Lesson. However, 小帕, the little brother, he was still not very concentrated. Although he was watching the camera and looked like he's thinking, he didn't really answer my questions. At the same time, he was making funny face though it was really cute. Actually, I hope they could learn Chinese with pleasure in Chinese Skype Lesson. So, we need to keep trying.
张斯淇 (Monday, 18 September 2017 05:10)
I don't have the Chinese Skype Lesson for Mabou about a month. So today, we talked about so many things about her life. She is a very clever girl, even I think that she is genius. She is just 11 years old, but she will go to Harvard University to learn the medicine and to Yale Unversity to learn the law next year. It is amazing that a little girl could do this. Recently, she also attended a play on Beoadway. When we talked about the show, she was excited. So, I tried to make her to know some words and helped her to share her experience in Chinese. It is a new and good beginning for Mabou to learn in Chinese Skype Lesson, hope she could keep trying.

What's more, after reading this story in last Chinese Skype Lesson, she could understand the words and phrases better in new Chinese Skype Lesson. It feels good that both of us could enjoy the class.
谭舒欣 (Tuesday, 19 September 2017 08:04)
In today's Chinese Skype Lesson,DingJie asked me a question about the distinguish of 刚，刚刚 and 刚才.Actually,they all mean just or just now.Firstly，刚刚 means a moment ago,for example,“他刚刚走。”.This sentence means he left just now.At the meanwhile，刚 and 刚才 are the same. Secondly，“这件T恤刚刚好。”.This sentence means this T-shirt is just suitable.We can't say “这件T恤刚才好。”.If you want to say “这件衣服刚好。”，the first sentence is the best.
陈奕敏 (Thursday, 21 September 2017 15:40)
Today,I have the first Chinese Skype Lesson for my student 那吾.The first impression he gave me was that he is a modest and restrained child.Although he has some pronunciation not so well,he can read it very accurately after I gave him the spelling.When I asked him to describe the picture of the supermarket,his answer make cry smile no have because he told me“很很难”. I hope he will be more active in next Chinese Skype Lesson.

Chinese Skype Lesson tip: Chinese slang,此地无银三百两（cǐ dì wú yín sānbǎi liǎng）
This slang comes from an interesting story.
Once upon a time, there’s a rich man, he has a lot of money. Then he buried three hundred Liang of silver in his farmland. In case someone would steal it, he wrote a note, read”There’s no three hundred liang of silver here.”
Then, Wang Er, the neighbour of the rich man, saw the note and stole the silver. But he was afraid the rich man will know he stole it. So he left a note, read”Your neighbour Wang Er didn’t steal your silver”.
Share this story to you students during the Chinese Skype lesson,it can really make the atmosphere active.

Mabou change another materials to learn in Chinese Skype Lesson. Before having the Chinese Skype Lesson, I thought the new materials may be easier but childish for her. Therefore I was a little worry that she wouldn't pay more attention on class. However she did a good job although she was playing her slime when we had the Chinese Skype Lesson. Because I taught her a new story called "贝贝的球”（Beibei's ball）,I asked her make her slime into a ball and tried to compare her slime ball and Bei's ball. It is good to see that she was interested in Chinese Skype Lesson because she could do something just like the story. Hope she really remember the words and could recall them in next Chinese Skype Lesson.

However, she still remembered how to read and tape the vocabularys and did well. Therefore I thought that it is useful for her to memorize and review some words in every Chinese Skype Lesson. It is ture that keeping exercise again and again can enhance memory. Just like the saying goes, "Practice makes Perfect". Hope she can learn more Chinese characters in Chinese Skype Lesson.

This was the first time I have Chinese Skype Lesson with 李宇腾，a Chinese America. Though he doesn't know large quantity of vocabulary, he took notes, learned very earnest in our Chinese Skype Lesson. And also during the Chinese Skype Lesson, I have found that 宇腾 has a very good language sense of using tones indeed, there was no wonder that 宇腾grew up in a Chinese context. I think his Chinese will get better and better after Chinese Skype Lessons.

I have to say 柏力 is really a sophisticated Chinese learner.His former teacher is Miss Zhang.It's the first time we have Chinese Skype lesson together.So at the beginning, he pretended not to know that I was here to teach him today.I was about to explain it,and he sayed "开玩笑开玩笑， I know you are Miss Liu". We started to learn Unit 33 during the Chinese Skype lesson, the new words are not difficult to him.More importantly, we learned a new sentence, "既....又..." today.

Today's Chinese Skype Lesson I will share a idiom 郑人买履（zheng ren mai lv）.The story is about a man from the state of Zheng who was going to buy himself a pair of shoes. Before he left for the market, he measured his feet with a piece of string. He cut the string to match the size of his foot. Then he got dressed and set off for the market.From the above,郑人买履：郑人 means a man from the state of zheng,买 means "to buy",履 means "shoes" in formal Chinese. This idiom was used to mock those whobelieve only indogmas and ignore reality.Whether do you think Chinese Skype Lesson interesting?Come on!

I modelled myself on animal’s voice and let her guess what animal it is. She was so smart that doped out the right answer quickly.I asked her some questions about that animal.

In Chinese Skype Lesson,a person learning Chinese can drive a whole family to learn Chinese.Why do I say that? Ryan and Amy are siblings，they learn Chinese togther in Chinese Skype Lesson.Many times we have a dialog about sentence pattern,I will ask them to take their brother or sister as an example,which makes the meanings easier.
Besides,they can dialogue with each other in Chinese when the class is over .So a learning partner makes learning easier and more interesting.

I had three Chinese Skype lessons with 柏力 for now,and today's lesson is really a hard one.We learned potiential complements last class,it's difficult at first,but at last he was kind of get it.This Chinese Skype lesson,we talked about the extented use of “出来”， for example "想出来"、“写出来”，He's really confused at first,thinking what exactely “出来” means, later I give hime some sentences like "你听不听得出来我是谁",it's better but still difficult for him.I think I need to find some more accessible way to let him understand the grammare.
Liu (Tuesday, 17 October 2017 04:40)
My Chinese Skype Lesson with 宇腾 today is very interesting.We learned part 2 of Unit 3,it's about clothes and colors,we learned several adjective to describe clothes,such as "长" “短” “厚”“薄”，and also the measure word "条" “套”“件”.The funny part is, when we were talking about colors,i gave him a phrase"ɡěi nǐ diǎn yán sè kàn kan",he said he can understand every character in it,but still no idea what it means.I told him it means "Teach somebody a lesson",you used it when somebody pissed you off,he suddnely bursted into laughter.I am very glad that he thinks learning Chinese is very interesting.Also,during the Chinese Skype lesson,I found that he can make a better connection between English and Chinese.For example like T恤 and 夹克，he knew exacterly what it meant after he read it.I think that's a step forward.
周雅含 (Tuesday, 17 October 2017 13:35)
In today's Chinese Skype class，I told a story named “The little hat is missing” to 子翘. The story is about misapprehend.

And she made a sound like a dog. Unexpectedly she went to a room and hold a toy puppy saying hello to me.So lovely! Then we talk about animals. And she also shared me a glass dolphin which is made by herself. I suggested he that put the glass dolphin in front of her eyes and describe what she see.

He didn't know the word for green tea in advance, but he tried to say "lǜ chá" which is the correct answer. Then I asked him how to say black tea,as expected he said " hēi chá ".He bursted in to laughter after he saw my face,he knew it's another trick,LOL.Actually, black tea is "hónɡ chá". There are always so much fun in the Chinese Skype class.

After finishinh the story, 南辕北辙，佳怡 begain to learn how to write the characters in the Chinese Skype Lesson.

卡隆吉 is one of my new student in the Chinese Skype Lesson. He is a clever boy and he can type and speak some simple words and sentences in Chinese. So in his Chinese Skype Lesson, what I need to do is to help him review the knowledge that he learnt at home.

However, it seems that she enjoyed to learn some characters and sentences and to repeat the them in the Chinese Skype Lesson. Hope I can help her learn what she want to learn in the Chinese Skype Lesson.

Chinese Skype Lesson Tip: 手足 （shǒu zú ) Let's look at some sentences first.
1.人们有时会感觉手足冰冷，尤其是在冬天。
Everyone gets cold hands and feet sometimes, especially during winter
2.他和我情同手足
We were like brothers.
So,literally “手” means hand,“足” means foot."手足" can be translated as hands and feet,just like the first sentence.
In addition,we all know that hands and feet are part of our body,they are related to each other and inseparable.Therefore, people refer to brothers as "手足",because of their intimated relationship.
Get it now? Try using "手足" to make a sentence during the Chinese Skype Lesson!

Being popular with children in China, this game is just some simple questions while the answers are always unexpected. It is beneficial to children's intelligence inspiring.子翘 was very interested in it though it was hard to guess the answers. While 心翘 seemed not to like it. 心翘 lost a tooth recently. She showed it to me. She put out a box which was in full of little teech and told me which one is hers, which one is her brother's.So cute!

柏力 didn't have class last Thursday cuz it's Thanksgiving Day,but on the beginning of today's Chinese Skype class,he shared his Thanksgiving dinner with me.I am always wondering how turkey tastes like...Besides,we talked about some differences in life between Americans and Chinese.
For example:
1.Chinese people don't like to drink water with ice,because we think that it's harmful to our stomach. However American people find hot water disgusting,it's not even tea.Surprisingly,柏力 said he like hot water.
2.Chinese people like to wear slippers indoors.Americans prefer barefoot,sometimes even shoes, but to Asian people especially Japanese is unacceptable.
3.Most of the Americans don't mind if they live near the tomb or not.Well, it's not gonna happen in China,people would think it's inauspicious.
That's all for today's Chinese online class,we learned more about Chinese culture, understood each other's custom.
周雅含 (Tuesday, 05 December 2017 14:29)
In today 's Chinese Skype Lesson, I also play a game to guess animals with子翘. Recently 子翘's Chinese presentation skill improves.

柏力 was really busy recently, he told me that he woke up at 4 this morning. So today's Chinese Skype Lesson is kind of easy. He told me about his trip in China 4 months ago, the experiences he got and the culture shock he met. First of all, after he arrived in HK , he spoke Cantonese to the taxi drive while the taxi driver replied in English, that's kind of funny. Then he got a trouble in Guangzhou railway station, cause there is no pedestal toilet there. He also found out that the street in Guangzhou is much wider than in US, and much bent as well which make him lost easily. But I think 柏力 is a genius, he didn't use the navigation software, he figured out all the way himself, thought he got lost sometimes. More fortunately, he speaks mandarin very well, so it's also a very good way to practice your spoken Chinese. You know another good way to practice your spoken Chinese? Came to have Chinese Skype Lesson with us!

Chinese Skype Lesson: Chinese elderly VS US elderly. It's New Year's day already,therefore at the beginning of the Chinese Skype Lesson,I asked 柏力 if he had any plans for new year,he said "Nah, I am an old man now,maybe go to the gym more to keep me healthy"."Well,that's a little different from here,in China, old people often need to take care of their grandchildren,they go to the park and play tai chi in the morning", I said.Then 柏力 told me that,in US many old people don't want to be babysitter,they prefer freedom.He emphasized FREEDOM.Anyhow,I hope all the elderly,either Chinese or US, 都能身体健康，万事如意！

柏力 is always ready for the Chinese Skype lesson in advance for an hour.Before the Chinese Skype lesson,he told me that he's learning Chinese to prevent dementia,then he started to play the "Who am I " game. Although he always says that he's an old man,deep in his heart, he's still an vigorous and humorous young man.To put it in an Internet buzzword,he's a “戏精”. Unlike some others, he's really interested in Chinese language and cultures,he try to speak Chinese as much as he can."我和中国人情同手足" he said.I am very honored to have him as my student.

Liu (Friday, 02 March 2018 03:30)
Chinese Skype Lesson: The construction "就是...也...".
In this construction,"就是" introduces a condition or concession, and “也” is used to indicate that the result is not affected by the previous situation.For example,
1.就是21世纪生活也得艰苦朴素
2.就是没钱买米，我也不借债
3.明天就是下大雨，我也要去餐馆展览
At the first sight,柏力 thought "就是" means “exactly”, like in the sentence "没错，就是我", I told him that in this sentence it's better to translate into "even if",then I give him more examples, kept practising and practising, now he know how to use this contruction.Of course at the next Chinese Skype Lesson,we will review it again.As we all know,language can only be mastered through repeated practice.
周雅含 (Friday, 02 March 2018 09:18)
Chinese Skype Lesson:Today, I showed 子翘 and 心翘 a pair of chopsticks. And I said to 子翘，in Chinese , we usually say 一双筷子（a pair of chopsticks）but not 两双筷子 (two chopsticks). We played games. I asked them some questions about the application classifiers, such as 一（）月牙，一（）泉水 and so on. Of course sometime I would give them some tips. I told them in Chinese,classifiers(量词) is a little difficult and thoes questions has more than one answer. For example, if water in a cup,we said a cup of water(一杯水)， if water in a bottle,we said a bottle of water(一瓶水).But when I picked up the water, I would say a handful of water (一捧水). 子翘 is very clever. He asked me a lot of questions: How about a camputer(一台电脑)? a mobile phone（一台手机）? HA,ha.When 心翘 knowed that my chopsticks are made from ceramics, she was curious. Usually Chinese chopsticks are made from bamboo or wood. And 心翘 showed me her ceramic cup made by herself. She is a capable child.

During this Chinese Skype lesson, we learned lesson 35, there was a new word "享受" which means enjoy, 柏力 said that there is another word “同乐” in his dictionary means enjoy together, therefore I corrected him that "同乐" is only used when someone wish you something,for example someone says "Happy New Year" to you,you can say "同乐，同乐！"

Chinese Skype Lesson: My first Chinese Skype Lesson with 罗明 made me very impressive, during the class, we had a quick scan through lesson 1 to lesson 4, in lesson 5, we learned a new word "零起点", 罗明 said that he's not a “零起点" learner, he already learned Chinese for one year,besides he has Chinese friends to practice with.I am very impressed by his pronunciation. We learned four pattern drills, the first one was to ask about numbers "有多少...”, the second one is "够...的", means it's really...or quite...,for example "够热的"、"够累的", it can emphasis "热" or "累" ,we practiced a lot,I am sure he can remember it well.

Chinese Skype Lesson: Recently, 佳怡 is learning more and more Chinese characters, for example "揉 柔" " 睁 争", these two pairs of characters have something in common, "柔" is the right part of "揉", besides they got the same pronunciation. I told 佳怡 sometimes you can remember characters like this,but sometimes you can't. In my opinion, 佳怡 is a very hardworking girl, even though we only have two classes for now, every time we do a dictation, she can write it well. I asked her about how she spend the weekend, she said that she didn't go anywhere,just stay at home and study.
Liu (Thursday, 15 March 2018 02:47)
Chinese Skype Lesson: For now, 佳怡 already finished the text book, from this class on, we started to review all the characters she had learned before. During the Chinese Skype Lesson, we reviewed 11 characters, at the beginning I showed her a pic,which was related to one of the characters, it reminded 佳怡 of the character and enriched her imagination. After all these practicing, I found that 佳怡 is very familiar with those characters, she could figured it out with 5 seconds, more importantly she could wrote all the characters in the right way, she's a hardworking girl. Besides giving a picture, I also gave her a sentence to read, to have a better understanding of how to use it.Nice try! 佳怡
Liu (Friday, 16 March 2018 02:17)
Chinese Skype Lesson: On today's Chinese Skype Lesson,柏力 read an article named "高薪穷人族" ,at the beginning 柏力 is confused about "高薪" ,he thought that it meant somebody who is tall, I explained that "高薪" means "很高的薪水或者很高的工资",then he can get it. 柏力 also had problem with "族"，in that phrase ,"族" means a group of people with similar points.For example,"啃老族" 、“月光族” “上班族”........ Later, we started to learn the new words of Lesson 36, there was a new word "最好" means "had better..." ,柏力 said he thought that "最好" means the best. I agreed with him,I said that when it's adj.,"最好" means the best, like "你是我见过最好的学生". But when it's adv.,"最好" means "had better",like "你最好别迟到". I believed that 柏力 understand all the new words, I am looking forward to meet him in our next Chinese Skype Lesson.
Liu (Friday, 16 March 2018 10:27)
Chinese Skype Lesson with 罗明： I really like to have Chinese Skype Lesson with 罗明，he's very smart and always willing to learn. I was surprised at the beginning of the class, he typed "我们开始吧" in Chinese to me on Skype, I never knew that he can type Chinese, after all he's a junior Chinese level student.During these Chinese Skype Lesson, I tried to use more Chinese sentences, most of them he can understand, just some few phrases he didn't know, he said he have learned Chinese for one year on his own, that's impressive, he got good pronunciation and large vocabulary.Therefore, at the moment, he need to learn more patter drill to speak standard mandarin.

Happy to have a good time with the lovely girl!
Liu (Friday, 23 March 2018 10:28)
Chinese Skype Lesson with 罗明 ： In today's Chinese Skype Lesson, I try to used more Chinese common expressions, for example I said " 我早上很晚才起床 ", maybe 罗明 can't say these sentence by himself, however words by words he can put them together and figured it out.In my opinion,he already learned a lot of Chinese words,besides he had many Chinese friends to practice with. Therefore,language is not the thing you can figure out by yourself but to use and communicate. Actually, it took few minutes for 罗明 to put all the meanings together, but once he got it,he burst out into laughter and got more confidence on learning Chinese,this is a virtuous circle.
Liu (Monday, 26 March 2018 13:22)
Chinese Skype Lesson with 佳怡：In today's Chinese Skype Lesson, I asked 佳怡 about her weekend.She told me that she just stayed at home and did some reading.It's a book about friendship and she need to write a comment about it.Later we reviewed four words,"否则、做、谁、件".She can wrote and typed correctly.During these Chinese Skype lesson,we reviewed ten characters from the vocabulary.佳怡 can spoke out every characters according to the picture.Although the AP test is still difficult for her,I hope that we can learn character by character.

Q & A for Chinese Skype Lessons :So all 3 are valid, and depending on your situation they would work. In a more casual setting, a simple 這個怎麼念, “how do you read this” would suffice.
