Lesson 5 of 47

STEP 1

Lǐ Hǎo 李好 and John Smith is meeting for the first time. 李好 is Chinese, and John Smith is American.

Create a dialogue between the two introducing each other their nationalities using the following words:

  • 是
  • 中国
  • 美国

Act out the dialogue  (without looking) and record a video or audio of your presentation.

STEP 2

Optional: share your work in the comments below.

The comment box with a voice recording, a photo of handwriting and a short message. Arrows point to the photo button at the bottom left and the microphone at the bottom right.

Record your voice or add a photo right in the comment box below. You can post them without typing anything.

  • Speaking: tap the microphone and record yourself (up to 5 minutes). Listen back, then post it.
  • Writing: tap the photo button to take a picture of your handwriting or choose one (up to 4 per comment). You can also paste a screenshot.
  • Video: upload it to YouTube and paste the link. It plays right in the discussion.

“Don’t worry about sounding perfect. Mistakes are a normal part of learning a language, and every time you say something out loud, it gets a little easier. Keep going at your own pace.”
