In this episode, we’ll dive into three important types of Chinese words—褒义词 (positive words), 贬义词 (negative words), and 中性词 (neutral words). Understanding these can help you avoid awkward situations and express yourself more naturally in Chinese. I’ll share useful examples like 努力, 自私, and 吃饭, and show you how connotation really matters in Chinese communication. Let’s learn and have fun together!

L'aperitivo - 3 minutes Italian

In this episode we are going to learn how to 【Introduce my Chinese teacher】. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
