Day 1: Greetings!

In today's lesson we will be learning what to say when you first meet someone. After following along with the video, you should be able to say hello, tell your name to someone and ask theirs, and tell them that it's good to meet them.

Vocabulary

1.你好 

   nĭ hăo

Hello

 

2.您貴姓? 

   nín guì xìng

 

What is your family name?

-Note: This is a formal and respectful question, much more so than asking someone their given name. Especially useful when dealing with people older than you.

 

3.我姓 

   wŏ xìng

   My family name is…

 

4.你叫什麼名字?

    nĭ jiào shén me míng zì?

    What's your name?

 

5.我叫。。。
