Welcome to Introduction to Chinese.
2
Let's begin with unit 1.
3
In this unit, we have three lessons.
4
Each will teach you a different function.
5
In lesson 1, we'll learn greetings, and in lesson 2, we'll learn how to say goodbye, and in lesson 3, we'll learn how to call out to people and how to respond.
6
Now, let's begin with the first lesson.
7
Hello, I'm He Mei.
8
In this lesson, you will learn how to greet someone in Chinese.
9
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to recognize and understand basic Chinese greetings and self-introductions.
10
Specifically, you will learn the greeting 你好, and the structure for self-introductions like 我是.
11
This lesson includes three dialogues.
12
For each dialogue, you will learn the necessary vocabulary to understand it.
13
In addition, for dialogue 1, we'll cover a Chinese phonetic phenomenon known as tones, and for dialogues 2 and 3, we'll look at a sentence structure for each.
14
There will be some pronunciation tips throughout the course, and finally, we'll finish off with a recap and a quiz.
15
Now, let's start with dialogue 1.
16
On the right, we see a young woman named Qi Ming Yue.
17
She's one of the main characters in the show.
18
Before we look at the dialogue, here's a quick culture note about Chinese names.
19
Unlike English names, Chinese names start with a surname, followed by their given name.
20
For example, in these names, Lu and Qi are the surnames.
21
And Jianyang and Mingyue are their given names.
22
Now let's take a look at the dialogue.
23
This is taken from episode 18.
24
In this scene, Qi Minyue's mother sets her up for a blind date without her knowledge, which makes the meeting rather awkward.
25
Let's take a look.
26
Let's listen one more time.
27
Great.
28
Now let's take a look at what they're actually saying.
29
First, Lu Jianyang says, 你好, which means hello.
30
And note that throughout the course, we'll show you English translations above the slides.
31
So you can see here, 你好 means hello.
32
And literally, it means you be well.
33
Here, 你 means you.
34
你, 你.
35
And 好 means good, well, or okay.
36
好 So when combined, 你好 literally means you be well 你好 你好 That means hello
37
Notice that there are some accent marks across the vowels.
38
Those are known as tone marks This brings us to our first pronunciation tip,
39
which is about Mandarin tones In Chinese every syllable has one of four tones flat,
40
rising, dipping, or falling, as well as a neutral tone.
41
Changing the tone changes the meaning of the word.
42
Now I'll read out these syllables and listen to how they sound.
43
However, since
44
this is a beginner's course, you don't need to memorize the tones, and you won't be quizzed on them, but from time to time, I'll mention the tones just for your own reference.
45
You can learn more about tones in our free Fanatics with Chinese Characteristics course under lesson 1.1.
46
So to wrap up, Lu Jianyang says, Ni Hao, which means hello.
47
And Qi Mingyue replies the same back, Ni Hao.
48
Let's watch the clip again.
49
Ni Hao.
50
Ni Hao.
51
Great, so that was Dialog 1, which was pretty simple.
52
Next, let's move on to Dialog 2.
53
This dialogue is taken from episode 29.
54
Here the girl on the right is Li Jianjian.
55
You've watched episode 1 where she was only a little girl.
56
Now she's all grown up and she's a working adult.
57
In this scene, she meets an older woman named Zhang Hongying.
58
Pay attention to how Li Jianjian greets her as an older woman.
59
Hello, hello.
60
Let's listen again.
61
Hello, hello.
62
Great, now let's analyze what they just said.
63
Here Li Jianjian greets her with Zhang Ayi Hao.
64
Let's break that down.
65
First Zhang is a very common Chinese surname.
66
Zhang, Zhang.
67
By the way, the consonant spelled ZH is read as J as in jam.
68
So Z-H-A-N-G is read as Zhang, Zhang, Zhang Ayi Hao.
69
Now let's take a look at the next word, Ayi, Ayi.
70
Ayi literally means aunt, specifically your mother's sister.
71
However, in Chinese culture, Ayi can also be used to address any older woman respectfully.
72
So here, Zhang Ayi can be translated as Auntie Zhang, or I guess in English you can say Miss or Mrs. Zhang.
73
And recall that Hao means good or well.
74
Here, Hao serves as a greeting.
75
So Zhang Ayi Hao is just Hello, Auntie Zhang.
76
Zhang Ayi Hao.
77
Zhang Ayi Hao.
78
Now let's examine our first grammatical structure.
79
This structure is person's name plus hao.
80
We can use this structure to greet someone by name.
81
For example, Zhang Ayi hao means hello, Auntie Zhang.
82
Qi Mingyue hao means hello, Qi Mingyue.
83
Li Jian Jian Hao means hello, Li Jian Jian.
84
And Lu Jian Yang hao means hello, Lu Jian Yang, etc. etc. Great, going back to the dialogue, Li Jian Jian greets her with Zhang Ayi hao,
85
hello Auntie Zhang, and Zhang Hongying responds with ni hao, which means hello, ni hao, ni hao.
86
Great, let's listen to the clip again, listen to how Li Jian Jian greets her with hello Zhang Ayi, Zhang Ayi hao.
87
Zhang Ayi hao, ni hao.
88
Ni hao is her reply.
89
Let's listen to it one more time
90
Great now let's move on to dialogue 3 This is a dialogue from episode 1
91
which you should have already watched before watching this lesson in
92
This scene as you might recall Li Jianjian's father Li Haichao
93
who is standing on the right is Going on a blind
94
date with a woman named He Mei who is standing on the left
95
Let's watch pay attention to how they introduce themselves themselves.
96
你好,我是贺美。 你好,别吓吵。 Let's listen again.
97
你好,我是贺美。 你好,别吓吵。 First,贺美 says, 你好,我是贺美。 你好,我是贺美。 Which means, hello, I'm贺美.
98
Let's break this down.
99
First, she starts with 你好, which means hello.
100
Then she says 我, which means I or me.
101
The pronunciation of this word is a little bit tricky.
102
The letter O here sounds more like a W as in water.
103
So it's not 我, it's 我, the vowel spreads out a little bit.
104
Then she says 是, which means to be.
105
You might have noticed that the letter I here doesn't sound like what you would expect.
106
It's actually pronounced more like a 识 in the word massage.
107
So to pronounce 识, first say 识 as in massage.
108
Then we add 识 in front of it.
109
In this course, we won't be asking you to speak.
110
However, it's important to understand how Chinese is pronounced so that you'll be able to understand it when you hear it, right?
111
So when there's a mismatch between the printed letters, the pinyin alphabet, and what you actually hear,
112
it might be a misunderstanding of the pronunciation rules, and that's why we're explaining that right now.
113
These pronunciation tips are not technically accurate.
114
They're just rules of thumbs designed for beginners.
115
For a more accurate technical description, please see our pronunciation course for free.
116
And especially for the pronunciations of 诗, you can find that in lesson 3.3.
117
Great.
118
Going back to Hèmei's line, she said, 你好,我是 Hèmei.
119
Here, Hèmei is her full name.
120
Hèmei.
121
Hèmei.
122
And here's yet another pronunciation tip.
123
The first letter E here is not pronounced like E or E.
124
This is not he or he.
125
The letter E here is actually more like a E.
126
So it's pronounced hë, hë, hëmei, hëmei.
127
However, the second E here, the E in mei, is pronounced as you would expect in English.
128
Hëmei, hëmei.
129
So altogether, 你好,我是赫美, just means hello, I am赫美
130
Now let's extract that as a pattern
131
我是赫美 means I am赫美 So we can extract that into a structure 我是 plus your name,
132
which can be used to introduce yourself For example,
133
我是李健健 means I am李健健 我是陆健阳 means I am陆健阳 and 我是 奇明月 means I am 奇明月
134
and 我是 李海潮 means I am 李海潮 For more details on the 我是 structure,
135
check out our HSK 1 course under Grammar 1.3.2 Going back to the dialogue,
136
李海潮 responds 你好 我是 李海潮 你好 我是 李海潮 你好 李海潮 So we can see that in casual situations,
137
we can just say our names as a kind of introduction.
138
Now let's watch the clip one last time.
139
Notice how He Mei introduces herself with 我是贺美。 你好,李海超。 That's what he said.
140
He just said his name as a self-intro.
141
Very brief, very simple.
142
Let's listen one more time.
143
你好,我是贺美。 你好,李海超。 Great, that wraps up this lesson.
144
You've learned six expressions and two grammatical structures.
145
You'll learn that 阿姨 means aunt or auntie, 好 means good or well,
146
你 means you, 我 means I or me, 是 means to be, and 你好 means hello.
147
You also learn how to use person plus 好 to greet a person by name.
148
and how to use wǒ shì plus your name to introduce yourself
149
and finally we've also covered a pronunciation note on Mandarin tones
150
please make sure to review the material well and then complete a quiz after the lesson

Greetings and Small Talk | Shadowing in English for 30 Days – Day 3
TeensDaily ConversationHigh School Students
Prime impressioni: perché questo video è ottimo per la pratica orale
Il video "Greeting and Self-Introduction!" è un materiale eccellente per chi vuole migliorare la conversazione in inglese, soprattutto se usa tecniche come lo shadowspeak. Le scene semplici, i dialoghi realistici e l'attenzione ai dettagli culturali rendono il contenuto accessibile e pratico. Inoltre, l'approccio passo passo alla pronuncia e alla struttura delle frasi lo rende perfetto per chi cerca di imparare l'inglese con i video, poiché combina teoria e pratica in modo naturale.
Analisi del dialogo: frasi chiare e naturali
Il video presenta espressioni base che sono la spina dorsale delle conversazioni quotidiane. Ecco alcuni esempi:
- "Hello, I'm He Mei": Una presentazione semplice e diretta, che usa la struttura "I'm + nome" – fondamentale per le prime interazioni. La pronuncia chiara rende facile imitarla con lo shadowing.
- "Ni Hao" (ciao in cinese): Anche se si tratta di un termine cinese, la spiegazione del suo significato ("you be well") aiuta a capire come le lingue costruiscono le salutazioni, migliorando la consapevolezza linguistica generale.
- "By the end of this lesson, you should be able to...": Una frase utile per descrivere obiettivi, che può essere riadattata in contesti educativi o professionali. La struttura "by the end of + tempo, you should be able to + verbo" è versatile e frequente nell'inglese parlato.
Routine di pratica: shadowing per migliorare la pronuncia
Per sfruttare al massimo il video, prova questa routine di pratica di conversazione in inglese con lo shadowing: 1) Ascolta un frammento del dialogo (5-10 secondi) e nota l'intonazione e il ritmo. 2) Ripeti immediatamente dopo, cercando di imitare ogni dettaglio (volume, pausa, accento). 3) Registrati e confronta la tua versione con l'originale: nota le differenze e ripeti finché non ti senti confortevole. Un shadowing site può aiutare a gestire i frammenti, ma anche un cellulare è sufficiente. Ripeti questo loop per ogni dialogo: in poche settimane, noterai un miglioramento nella fluidità e nella pronuncia.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | is taken · are known · won't be quizzed |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | You've watched · You've learned · we've also covered |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | knowledge, which makes · Hao, which means |
| Possibilità con “might / may” might/may + verbo — qualcosa di possibile ma non certo | might recall · might have · might be |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
