On difficut Chinese Pinyin    

JAMES:  Good morning, Professor Austin, how are you doing?
PROFESSOR AUSTIN: Good morning, James. I am doing well. And you?
JAMES: I’m great, thank you. This is my friend Emma. She 
is thinking about applying to this college. She has a 
few questions. Would you mind telling us about the 
process, please?
PROFESSOR AUSTIN: Hello, Emma! It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m more 
than happy to speak with you. Please stop by my office 
next week.
EMMA: It’s a pleasure to meet you, professor. Thank you so 
much for helping us.
PROFESSOR AUSTIN: Don’t mention it. Hopefully, I will be able to answer 
your questions!

LANGUAGE NOTES
• The greetings good morning/good afternoon/good evening are used at different times 
of the day to greet people. “Good evening” is often used after 6 p.m. or generally when 
the sun has set.
• “Good night” is not a greeting: It is used when leaving a place or group of people. 
Thank you and good night!/Good night, and see you tomorrow.
• When people meet in the United States, it is customary for them to shake hands. A 
handshake should be firm and usually lasts for about two to three seconds — which 
allows enough time to say “Nice to meet you.”
• “Don’t mention it” is another way of saying “You’re welcome.” The phrase “You are 
welcome” is more formal. However, responses such as Don’t mention it./No problem./
Happy to help. are informal ways of responding to a thank you.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。今天想带大家一起学学一些跟“手”有关的词。
大家都知道手是我们身体的一部分，有很多词都有“手”这个字，例如我们每天都在用的手机。你现在很可能就是把手机拿在手里，听着这集播客吧。我们有左手和右手，如果你习惯用右手，那你就是右撇子，相反，习惯用左手的人就是左撇子。我们有五根手指，分别是大拇指，食指，中指，无名指和小拇指。
还有很多带有“手”的词，其实不是真的手，而是指“人”，在某个方面很熟练或者专业的人。例如，歌手就是唱歌唱得很好，把唱歌当做工作的人。我们可以说“他是一名歌手。”选手，选择的“选”，就是被选择去参加比赛的人。我们可以说“有几百名选手参加了这次的比赛。”对手，对面的“对”，和你竞争的人就是你的对手。我们可以说“这次比赛他轻松打败了对手。”助手，帮助的助，就是帮助你做一些工作的人。我们可以说“有了助手以后，李经理没有以前那么忙了。”高手，高低的高，就是在某个方面很厉害的人。我们可以说“他是一名象棋高手，经常赢比赛。”
你还知道哪些和“手”有关的词？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

Yuli's Chinese Channel

和“手”有关的词 Words with“手” （Intermediate level）

In this episode, we explore how the throat chakra, or Vishuddha, supports language learning and how the act of learning a language can, in turn, heal the throat chakra. By practicing mindful speaking, reading aloud, and breath-focused articulation, learners stimulate the vagus nerve, which calms the parasympathetic nervous system, reduces amygdala hyperactivity, and lowers stress that contributes to GERD and acid reflux. The vibrations produced by the voice resonate in the throat and chest, easing tension and strengthening communication. This practice not only improves language fluency but also fosters emotional release, confidence, and physical healing, proving that your own voice is both a tool of expression and a pathway to wellness.
