okay we'll proceed to lesson 2! I've notice everyone is fluent in Chinese or either have interest to learn, and I'll be your teacher teaching Chinese! Throughout the lesson I'll be teaching phonics mainly, as we're using computer We're going to use keyboard. There's no homework. If you're interested to learn how to write, copy and paste the word you wish to learn in provided website. http://www.yellowbridge.com/chinese/character-stroke-order.php?searchChinese=1&zi=%E6%83%B3 If you don't have writing aid for computer to type, check your computer control panel for languages before adding the widget. When there's none, you can use the tool from internet to type with website provided below: http://www.chinese-tools.com/tools/ime.html And you can paste the word into here for us to see what you type! This lesson cover about phonetics Chinese often use to type on internet. First, let's look at the chart: Chinese phonetics You will notice there are many colour coding, as some form words such as: ba, pa. You will see many words you don't understand, don't fret, those are words I will use in the lessons you bound to see them here matching with words. There are phonics which stand alone to pronounce a word. Letters: a, e, o When we use four tones on selected letter, we create 12 words based on each tone together. The rule of pronouncing words: never change words' tone when pronounce a word. It does matters, Chinese will base on your pronunciation thinking of your sincerity when you chatting with them. The list of letter which aligned down at far left are the initials. The list of letter above, spread across from left to right are finals. When you pressed, you will see four tones appear on each phonics. But computer typing don't recognize tone, typing won't be hard. Computer recognize Chinese characters, and locals updated with tools I've mentioned above. Always make sure your computer can recognize Chinese words, check the setting in control panel or use and make sure everything is in place. Writing words with hands are optional, but I strongly recommended it as you able to recognize when typing phonics on computer. Chinese character you want will show up in the list after you type the phonics, sometimes you have to scroll down and find words. If preparation is done, you can start to test out the words: 我的名字是____。 (When typing each phonics, scroll down to find exact character one by one.) wo de ming zi shi ______ My name is ______ 。 You can use the chart to hear how it was sound like by matching words: wo(third tone) de(BPMF) ming(second) zi(BPMF) shi(fourth)

Anyway, any one has interest to learn Chinese from me? In real life I teach Oral English phonics as tutor. I can switch line here to teach Chinese and the phonics.

okay. lol. I'm sorry... I keep confusing people either the person is he or she.

the phonic of c is voiceless. z isn't. KKLT, I think it's about phonic's term she ask for.

I was thinking, is it possible to pitch in graphics or photos for anyone who like to use them?

now I understand why some episodes' pages leave blank. hmmm...
