Welcome back!
Thank you for submitting your homework.
Let’s hear some of your wonderful recordings.
nǐ hǎo, wǒ shì Eli.
nǐ hǎo, wǒ shì Ian.
nǐ hǎo, wǒ shì Jill.
nǐ hǎo, wǒ shì James.
That was totally awesome. Let’s do a quick review.
How do we say “hello” in Chinese?
That's right. nǐ hǎo！
How do you introduce yourself in Chinese?
Perfect! wǒ shì _______。
You're doing great!
To celebrate what we have learned,
I brought a learning jar.
Every time we learn a new character,
we’ll drop a character tile into the jar
and watch our learning grow over time.

xiǎo péng yǒu
now that you can tell people your name,
the next step is to ask for other people’s names.
That’s how we make friends.
To ask for people’s names, we say...
nǐ jiào shí me míng zì？
What is your name?
nǐ jiào shí me míng zì？
That’s quite a long sentence so let’s break it down.
The first character is nǐ.
You already know that one.
It means you. nǐ
The second character is jiào.
It means to shout or the call.
jiào
Can you try it?
jiào
Great! jiào
The next two characters are often used together.
shí me
It means “what?
shí me
Now you try it.
shí me
Fantastic!
shí me
Finally!
The last two characters also go together.
míng zì
It means “name.”
míng zì
Let’s try it.
míng zì
Perfect!
míng zì
When we put all the pieces together,
we have
nǐ jiào shí me míng zì
Word by word, that means, you’re called by what name?
That’s how we ask for someone’s name in Chinese.
nǐ jiào shí me míng zì
Now you try it!
nǐ jiào shí me míng zì
nǐ zhēn bàng! You are doing great!
What would you say if someone asks you
nǐ jiào shí me míng zì
Well, you have learned one way, which is to say
wǒ shì Cindy。
I am Cindy.
Or you can also say
wǒ jiào Cindy。
I am called Cindy.
Either one is fine.
Let’s see these Chinese words in action!

Welcome back. We met quite a number of animal friends there.
tā jiào shí me míng zì？
tā jiào xiǎo lǎo shǔ。
He is called Little Mouse.
tā jiào shí me míng zì？
tā jiào xiǎo niú。
He is called Little Cow.
tā jiào shí me míng zì？
tā jiào xiǎo hǔ 。
He is called Tiger.
What about this cute furry animal?
tā jiào xiǎo tù。
She is called Little Rabbit.
And finally, tā jiào shí me míng zì？
tā jiào xiǎo lóng。
He is called Little Dragon!
Hmm.. what’s that sound?
Ooh, looks like we’ve got a Culture Gem alert!
Let’s see what inside.
It’s the Dragon!
That means there’s something interesting about the Dragon in the Chinese culture.
Let’s check it out.
The dragon is a legendary snake-like creature
with four legs found in Chinese mythology
that can control the winds and water.
The dragon symbolizes power and good luck
so in the old days, only the China Emperor
is allowed to wear anything with the dragon image.
Fortunately, that's not true anymore.
We’ve got our own Dragon here to help us out.
In our last lesson, we learned to say hi
and introduce ourselves.
In this lesson, we learned to ask for people’s names.
It’s time for you to show off what you’ve learned.
For the first part of today’s homework, take this worksheet
and ask FIVE people, in Chinese, for their names.
Write down their names and send it to me.
For the second part of today's homework,
listen to the Chinese name
of each animal and select the correct animal.
If you forget some of them,
just go back and watch the animation again.
I know you can do it!
Until next time,
zài jiàn!
