FOLLOWING SHIRLEY TO READ THE NEW WORDS

It is nice that some friends have asked me to introduce some vocabulary in Chinese, so today I will introduce some new words about education.

In this unit I would like to focus my new words on one Chinese word -- Xué, which means learn or study, you will find that most of the Chinese characters and their pronunciation guides below have one word in common, "Xué". :-)


I guess that maybe this is a good way to remember Chinese vocabulary and I do hope that my work will be a little help to you in your Chinese learning. :-)

NEW WORDS :

You can click on any Chinese character that you need to be help with to see its Chinese pinyin, pronunciation and meaning and then follow me to read it.

If you have any difficulty with displaying Chinese characters, or you can not hear the audio file, you can Download A Software on the Homepage to Help You. . :-)
