      WO DE BULUOGE


A Xie Xin to myself,


Qin ai de Rasul,

            Ni hao ma? I'm writing this to you as in the next following 6 weeks, though it may seems impossible, you will need to learn the basic of the Mandarin. It will be tough, but I believe that you can do it.

           There are a few tips in achieving this goal, you will need to read the Beginner Book for Mandarin in order to get used to the basic of the language. And make sure you use the Chinese Learning apps since we are in the era of technology. 

Make sure to practice tian tian, okay! 

Good luck!


'Wo tiaozhan xue Hanyu' 


Best regards,

Today, I take the chance of watching some videos on Youtube on Pinyin. Learn so much about Mandarin especially the essentials such as the initial, the final and the 4 different tones which bring different meanings to a word.


This is a video which teach the basic of Mandarin for tourist traveling to China.


I also get to watch this 20+ mins video that also teach all the basic of Pinyin.

Even after watching these videos, I'm still quite confuse on the pronunciation of the initials. Hope I'll be able to understand the basic soon.



Cheers!





______________________________________________________ DAY 4_____________________________________________________



Today, I did a Pinyin quiz on the basic of Pinyin. Especially on the initials, tone and finals. It was hard to do at first, but then after learning it in class, it became much more easier.


So above is my score for the quizzes. It is not so bad but at the same time I could do better.



Cheers!

WEEK 4 - I Really Need Some "Coffee"

Image
For the 4th week, we study on how to ask for coffee, how to suggest and comment and we improve on our greetings. We learnt how to ask for someone. I was absent during this class, but I did my self study. For example, Q : Qing wen, laoshi zai ma?       请问， 老师在吗？       May I ask, is the teacher here? A : Duibuqi, wo bu zhidao       对不起，我不知道       I'm sorry, I don't know. Q : Mei guanxi       没关系       Nevermind We also learn how to ask for direction. For instances; Q : Qing wen, chuangyi duomeiti xueyuan zai nar?       请问， 创意多媒体 在 哪？       May I ask, where is the Creative Multimedia faculty? A : Duibuqi, wo bu zhidao       对不起，我不知道       I'm sorry, I don't know. Unfortunately I do not attend this class so I can't give any direct answer to the question above. So in exchange, here is a screenshot of email that I sent to the laoshi 老师 in which I insert a few Chinese characters in regard with my situation. Cheers! __________________

WEEK 2 - Improving The Basic and Learning Characters

 Today, I got to practiced all the strokes for writing Chinese Character. There are 8 different strokes ; dian, heng, shu, pie, na, ti, gou and zhe. It might look easy, but I find it a little difficult. For example, for dian it is not really a stroke, it is a few dots and must not be too long. Anyway, I'll keep practicing until I can't get it wrong. Until then. Cheers! ______________________________________________________ DAY 2_____________________________________________________  For today, I recap what we have learn in class for initials. I also did some note on the constructive principles of the Chinese characters liushu 六书. There are 6 type of constructive principles ; 1- xiung xing -  picture character 2- zhi shi - symbol character 3- jiajie - borrowed sound character 4- xingsheng - sound + meaning compound character 5- zhuan zhu - Re-clarified compound character 6- huiyi - meaning + meaning compound character I also watched some v

WEEK 3 - Self Introduction & Greetings

Image
In this week, we start to learn on how to greet in Mandarin. To give you an example of what I've learnt, below is some basic greeting in Hanyu; A : How are you?       ni hao ma       你好吗？ B : I'm very good. And you?       wo hen hao, ni ne?       我很好，你呢？ A : I'm very good too. Thank you.       wo ye hen hao. xie xie       我也很好。谢谢 B : You're welcome.       bu ke qi       不客气 This is how you exchange conversation when you meet someone. However, if you're meeting someone who is older or much more respected than you, the character 你 (ni) has to be change to 您 (nin) . This is a short video that I find helpful in learning how to greet in Mandarin. Cheers! ______________________________________________________ DAY 2_____________________________________________________ Today, in class we learnt how to do self introduction of ourselves. Mainly on name and nationality. So, I'll introduce myself in Mandarin. 你好，我是Rasul Fikri. 我是马来西亚人
