Week five already! This week we learnt everything about family tree and the various salutation of the relatives. I particularly enjoyed the family tree presentation by our students, good work!
We talked about the different between the grandparents from both mom's side and dad's side and why mom's mom is called 外婆 (Wàipó) and mom's dad is called 外公 (Wàigōng) whiles days mom is call 奶奶 (Nǎinai) and dad's dad is called 爺爺 (Yéyé). You can practice reading each of the character and the lesson flash cards here. To practice reading, click here for the passage.
Our language focus this week is 是....也是 (Shì,,, yěshì). For example 她是我的中文老师, 也是我哥哥的中文老师 (She is my Chinese teacher, she is also my brother's Chinese teacher). We are also able to separate the relatives into male 男 (Nán) or female 女 (Nǚ). Quick tips - in some Chinese characters you can tell by the radical (部首). For example if the character shows the radical 女, such as 姐, 媽, 姨, 奶奶, 妹妹 (older sister, mother, aunty, grandma, younger sister), it is certain that the gender is female.
This week's homework is on page 2 of their workbook, question 2. Students are require to separate all the maternal relatives and paternal relatives into the 2 spaces provided. Have fun!
