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,

152

get to know the characters and also get some listening practice If you found this lesson helpful, make sure to hit the like button so that you can easily find this video again in your like history.

156

And once you're done, you can move on to lesson two where we'll learn how to say goodbye.

157

Okay, thank you and see you in lesson two.

158

Bye bye.

真实场景：尴尬的相亲初遇

视频中的对话发生在一场意外的相亲中，女主角齐明月在不知情的情况下被母亲安排见面，两人的初次问候既正式又略带拘谨。这种“陌生人初次见面”的场景在生活中十分常见——无论是面试、聚会还是社交场合，一句恰当的问候都能快速拉近距离。通过这个对话，我们能学到最实用的中文寒暄方式，同时也能体会跨文化交流中姓名、语气的细微差异。

必学实用表达：4个关键语块

你好：最基础的问候语，字面意为“你安好”，对应英语的“hello”或“hi”，适用于所有场合。
我是：自我介绍的核心结构，如“我是陆建阳”即“I am Lu Jianyang”，简单直接。
姓氏+名字：中文姓名“姓在前，名在后”，如“齐”是姓，“明月”是名，记住这点能避免称呼错误。
声调变化：每个汉字有平、升、降升、降四种声调，声调不同 meaning 也不同（如“好”的声调变化会改变词义），这是中文发音的关键。

影子跟读挑战：现在就开口！

想要快速掌握发音和语气？试试英语影子跟读（shadowspeak）技巧——播放对话音频，延迟0.5秒跟读，模仿发音、声调甚至语速。这个方法不仅能提高英语发音，对中文学习也同样有效！今天的任务是：跟读“你好”10遍，注意“你”的升调与“好”的降调，录下自己的声音并对比原音。完成后，你会发现自己的口语流畅度明显提升。如果想进阶练习，可以用这个方法准备雅思口语练习，效果事半功倍哦！

记住，语言学习没有捷径，但影子跟读（shadow speak）能让你在短期内快速突破。别害怕出错，开口就是进步的开始！

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：

结构	视频中的用法
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的	is taken · are known · won't be quizzed
现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事	You've watched · You've learned · we've also covered
定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物	knowledge, which makes · Hao, which means
用 “might / may” 表可能 might/may + 动词 — 有可能但不确定的事	might recall · might have · might be

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
