Welcome to Introduction to Chinese.

Let's begin with unit 1.

In this unit, we have three lessons.

Each will teach you a different function.

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.

Now, let's begin with the first lesson.

Hello, I'm He Mei.

In this lesson, you will learn how to greet someone in Chinese.

By the end of this lesson, you should be able to recognize and understand basic Chinese greetings and self-introductions.

Specifically, you will learn the greeting 你好, and the structure for self-introductions like 我是.

This lesson includes three dialogues.

For each dialogue, you will learn the necessary vocabulary to understand it.

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.

There will be some pronunciation tips throughout the course, and finally, we'll finish off with a recap and a quiz.

Now, let's start with dialogue 1.

On the right, we see a young woman named Qi Ming Yue.

She's one of the main characters in the show.

Before we look at the dialogue, here's a quick culture note about Chinese names.

Unlike English names, Chinese names start with a surname, followed by their given name.

For example, in these names, Lu and Qi are the surnames.

And Jianyang and Mingyue are their given names.

Now let's take a look at the dialogue.

This is taken from episode 18.

In this scene, Qi Minyue's mother sets her up for a blind date without her knowledge, which makes the meeting rather awkward.

Let's take a look.

Let's listen one more time.

Great.

Now let's take a look at what they're actually saying.

First, Lu Jianyang says, 你好, which means hello.

And note that throughout the course, we'll show you English translations above the slides.

So you can see here, 你好 means hello.

And literally, it means you be well.

Here, 你 means you.

你, 你.

And 好 means good, well, or okay.

好 So when combined, 你好 literally means you be well 你好你好 That means hello

Notice that there are some accent marks across the vowels.

Those are known as tone marks This brings us to our first pronunciation tip,

which is about Mandarin tones In Chinese every syllable has one of four tones flat,

rising, dipping, or falling, as well as a neutral tone.

Changing the tone changes the meaning of the word.

Now I'll read out these syllables and listen to how they sound.

However, since

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.

You can learn more about tones in our free Fanatics with Chinese Characteristics course under lesson 1.1.

So to wrap up, Lu Jianyang says, Ni Hao, which means hello.

And Qi Mingyue replies the same back, Ni Hao.

Let's watch the clip again.

Ni Hao.

Great, so that was Dialog 1, which was pretty simple.

Next, let's move on to Dialog 2.

This dialogue is taken from episode 29.

Here the girl on the right is Li Jianjian.

You've watched episode 1 where she was only a little girl.

Now she's all grown up and she's a working adult.

In this scene, she meets an older woman named Zhang Hongying.

Pay attention to how Li Jianjian greets her as an older woman.

Hello, hello.

Let's listen again.

Hello, hello.

Great, now let's analyze what they just said.

Here Li Jianjian greets her with Zhang Ayi Hao.

Let's break that down.

First Zhang is a very common Chinese surname.

Zhang, Zhang.

By the way, the consonant spelled ZH is read as J as in jam.

So Z-H-A-N-G is read as Zhang, Zhang, Zhang Ayi Hao.

Now let's take a look at the next word, Ayi, Ayi.

Ayi literally means aunt, specifically your mother's sister.

However, in Chinese culture, Ayi can also be used to address any older woman respectfully.

So here, Zhang Ayi can be translated as Auntie Zhang, or I guess in English you can say Miss or Mrs. Zhang.

And recall that Hao means good or well.

Here, Hao serves as a greeting.

So Zhang Ayi Hao is just Hello, Auntie Zhang.

Zhang Ayi Hao.

Now let's examine our first grammatical structure.

This structure is person's name plus hao.

We can use this structure to greet someone by name.

For example, Zhang Ayi hao means hello, Auntie Zhang.

Qi Mingyue hao means hello, Qi Mingyue.

Li Jian Jian Hao means hello, Li Jian Jian.

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,

hello Auntie Zhang, and Zhang Hongying responds with ni hao, which means hello, ni hao, ni hao.

Great, let's listen to the clip again, listen to how Li Jian Jian greets her with hello Zhang Ayi, Zhang Ayi hao.

Zhang Ayi hao, ni hao.

Ni hao is her reply.

Let's listen to it one more time

Great now let's move on to dialogue 3 This is a dialogue from episode 1

which you should have already watched before watching this lesson in

This scene as you might recall Li Jianjian's father Li Haichao

who is standing on the right is Going on a blind

date with a woman named He Mei who is standing on the left

Let's watch pay attention to how they introduce themselves themselves.

你好,我是贺美。你好,别吓吵。 Let's listen again.

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.

Let's break this down.

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

151

when you're done you can watch the second episode of the drama with English subtitles this way you better understand the storyline,

158

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
