Every week has a theme. An example on some words on the module on money are 开销Kāixiāo (expense), 贷款Dàikuǎn (loan), 财力Cáilì (financial resources), 房贷Fángdài (mortgage). And there are words that don’t really relate to money but are useful when talking about money, such as ‘平均Píngjūn’ (on average).We will often watch a video in which a Chinese person introduces a topic. In, for instance, the module about money, it’s 兰卡, a thirty-something Chinese lady in Shanghai who talks about her life and how she saves and spends money. The speed at which she talks is incredibly high at first, but the teacher will pause, rewind, let the students talk — and in the end you can watch the video and understand it.

Anda secara teknikal boleh melakukan ini sendiri, tetapi masalahnya ialah:

• Anda perlu mencari bahan yang betul, yang mempunyai kira-kira 90% perkataan yang anda sudah tahu. Anda juga perlu tahu sama ada 10% baru sebenarnya berguna untuk kehidupan seharian. Plus kelajuan dan sebutan perlu mencabar tetapi boleh dilakukan.
• Guru di kelas akan membantu anda mengucapkan kata-kata dengan betul dan cara menggunakannya dengan betul. Dia mencipta banyak peluang untuk bercakap, menggunakan kata-kata dalam keadaan anda (seperti bercakap tentang sama ada anda mempunyai gadai janji atau tidak, perbelanjaan yang anda buat). Ini membuat anda menghafal kata-kata dengan lebih baik.

Cina di alam liar

Manfaat terbesar bahan Cina kehidupan sebenar adalah bahawa ia adalah realiti yang lebih jujur untuk belajar bahasa Cina. Seperti yang dikatakan di atas, kelajuan video sangat tinggi, dan kursus ini melatih anda untuk mendengar ini. Orang juga bercakap dengan beberapa aksen sedikit, dan terdapat beberapa gangguan seperti bunyi latar belakang. Semua ini membantu anda memahami bahasa Cina di luar bilik darjah (dan ironinya, ini mempersiapkan anda dengan sempurna untuk tahap HSK baru, kerana kelajuan bercakap tinggi, aksen & gangguan adalah keperluan tahap yang lebih tinggi).

Lay the Foundation for Success

Before we dive into the intricacies of spoken Chinese, let’s lay a solid foundation for success. Perfecting pronunciation and mastering tones are vital. Pay close attention to the subtle nuances and unique sounds that define the Chinese language. To practice pronunciation effectively, consider using platforms like GoEast, which provide interactive exercises and instant feedback. Additionally, embrace the power of Pinyin, the phonetic system used to represent Chinese characters. Pinyin will guide your pronunciation and boost your confidence as you tackle new words and phrases.

Expand Your Lexicon

To become a fluent speaker, building an extensive vocabulary is crucial. Make it a daily habit to learn new words and phrases. Flashcards are a powerful tool for memorization. Incorporate mnemonic techniques or create associations to help words stick in your mind. Don’t forget to explore commonly used idioms and expressions, as they add depth and richness to your spoken Chinese. One practical way to incorporate them into your vocabulary is by reading books, blogs, or listening to podcasts specifically designed for language learners.

Sharpen Your Listening Skills

Listening comprehension is the cornerstone of effective communication. Enhance your skills by immersing yourself in Chinese audio content. Seek out Chinese movies, TV shows, and podcasts to expose yourself to different accents and dialects. For a targeted approach, try listening to Chinese lessons or audio exercises designed to improve your comprehension. Actively engage in the content, take notes, and reflect on what you hear. Over time, you’ll notice a remarkable improvement in your ability to understand and respond to spoken Chinese.

Embrace Regular Speaking Practice

Speaking regularly is the key to developing fluency. Seek out language partners, conversation groups, or language exchange programs to practice speaking with native Chinese speakers. Online platforms like iTalki or Tandem connect language learners worldwide. Engage in meaningful conversations, share cultural experiences, and receive real-time feedback. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes—embracing them as stepping stones to improvement is a fundamental part of the language learning journey. To further enhance your progress, record yourself speaking and analyze areas for improvement. Celebrate your progress along the way and never underestimate the power of consistent practice.

Refine Your Pronunciation

To truly excel in spoken Chinese, refining your pronunciation is essential. Tackle challenging sounds and tones head-on. For example, focus on the infamous “r” sound by practicing tongue twisters like “四是四，十是十” (sì shì sì, shí shì shí). Repeating common phrases and tongue twisters helps train your mouth and tongue to produce accurate sounds. Seek feedback from native speakers or language teachers who can provide valuable insights and guide you towards clearer and more authentic pronunciation.
