Vocabulary
Learn Chinese: vocabulary of lesson 1
Methodology
To memorize vocabulary in writing, we start listing all vocabulary in Chinese characters; only then do we move on to pinyin and English. This exercise must be repeated until faultless. Then we do it again, but the other way round, that is by writing the list in English first, then characters and pinyin.
我 :
I, me
你 :
you
他 :
he, him
好 :
fine, good
你好 :
hello
很 :
very
吗 :
simple interrogative particle
呢 :
interrogative particle (used to return a question that the speaker has just been asked. Example: Nǐ ne ? And you ?)
:
thank you
不 :
negation, no
再见 :
goodbye
