Let's start Good morning Good afternoon Good evening let's start with the question of why it is related to the year. In fact, this word refers to the star that appears in the sky every 12 years at the same location every year. Do you remember the concept that 12 years of Tue is also used as the year of ear more generally that is the concept of su? In general, because every 12 years it appears in the same position, so this word is read as Jupiter uses the word su which can be used to describe a year or many years but similarly y a year count plus index years small child y one year old s su three years old why x Precession is related to year because of the 12-year orbit of the star, the concept of time is quantified in years. Let me take this example: 1 + 1 = 2, right? Arithmetic is like that in China or the West, America or Europe. 1 + 1 = 2 that is obvious India Korea Vietnam is the same but thinking in Chinese 1+ 1 may be greater than 2 smaller than 2 equal 0 may be negative may be equal to 3 may be equal 5 can be 100 That's why you find Chinese complicated Two people working on a project If we give our all, the resulting product can be equal to three or five or more than the following five people 1 month or 3 months, the result will be a negative number, that's why we think 1 + 1 result. Even though we know many things in mathematics, 1 + 1 is still equal to 2, right? It's the same for ni and thinking when you talk about thinking specifically in a specific sentence or a specific situation y Spider 1 year in a row spider two years but can also be used to refer to the concept of many years called abstract thinking that is the first sentence The next sentence is ch really a mountain ch ê chair all have the same letter ch. This can indeed be a commonly used player in general so when you put this word in it is used as a [musical] player really don't used as a sutra. You can say that the sutra that provides the generation of fruition consciousness provides the meaning part as well as the meaning part because when we talk about y ch s it is mostly like sitting there unless like Mount Everest it is very tall and vertical, steep and pointed, like standing, not sitting. But mostly it gives you the impression of sitting there like a big building. All the big buildings like sitting there except the building like the middle. World Trade Center It's very tall, it's upright like it's standing there. But most of them are sitting and it's also used as an element, but basically we often use crow as an element. This crow is part of the The mountain is called sa fake cliff. It has this protruding part and you can build a house or a cave to live in. In ancient times, you could live there as a house, so this part brings the meaning of The word is the image of a mountainside that you can sleep under. Let's give another example Thien This is very simple but you can analyze it the same way and I Dai This can be used as a base for this. This one can be used as a gourd for Thien cho Thai put one on the top here it has interrelationships each interrelationship when you analyze them they can be seen like the set of heads this is the most accurate part this is the set of ours there is a book from the Han Dynasty written like this the author lists 540 heads This is what is in his system It is a different system but His system was widely accepted so that as long as a part has an independent meaning of its own and when it combines with another part to form a more complex character it can be considered as The real defenses are like that, no need to learn too deeply. Unless you want to become a Scholar who focuses on researching the defenses, you can spend time on it. Otherwise, we have 36 defenses to start with. that word. The other things don't need to be concerned later when we learn about it. You can see it as a bud or you can see it as a word. Both ways are correct even though I said 36 sets of primaries. This is like the alphabet in Vietnamese and English, it's just similar but not exactly the same because in other languages ​​you only need the alphabet to create a lot of words, but in these 540 sets I took the 36 most commonly used radicals in Chinese especially in the basic 2500 characters but can't cover everything which is a large part it can be up to 90 95 or 98 min but can't be 100 min Please remember that in Chinese thinking when you reach 100 minutes when you reach 100 minutes you will turn to the opposite direction so you should get used to stopping this way of thinking when you reach the extreme then you will go to the other side. But it continuously rotates, no one can stand at the extreme point forever, a new cycle will begin, that's why Confucius has a very good point of view but it's not easy to do like you always try to do. This middle in the center hasn't crossed over to the other side yet. That 's called being in the middle. Standing in the middle is good, but who can do it? If you can maintain that mindset, you won't make big mistakes. That's what I do. understand Confucius's meaning. The third sentence, Lai Nhi, No Reaction. Phi Rites Pseudo This sentence is very popular in ancient times, even in modern times. Now we introduce the words Caian or Wong Cai in the same way. For example, I invite you to use it. dinner and in return, next time you can invite me back to dinner or lunch East and West so I use it because it is used in the past and in modern times also in social relationships so that you know that the driver or Gift driver is used like that, it's a very classic speech error just like that. Put this word in a sentence to know how to use it or I have a friend in B Florida We often visit th often We I often call each other Hoang from there to here and from here to there back and forth. That's the usage of the sentence "re" in anh ha. They're both negative. They can replace " What did that friend give me?" but it's not polite for me to give something back it's not nice if I give you something he doesn't give anything back to show respect it's also not appropriate for both parties this sentence is used to describe so that's so let me give one more example sentence Elizabeth and Kim often call each other Elizabeth and Kim have phone calls back and forth can be used in other ts the example I used above so you know that it has can be used in a sentence like that is there no logical way to say I have to use it like that ph l is not polite let me see Can I use another word is there a logical way of thinking Why do I use the word There is one thing here that you can use all the characters in different sentences as long as it makes sense. Van people will practice a lot, many of you have started to compose your own sentences, including poems. In the ancient style of grammar, there is no grammar. I use that culture so you can understand that in Chinese, especially ancient Chinese, the grammar is very simple, no time, singular, plural, no active, passive. If not, it's very simple and flexible. Let me talk about this situation so you can visualize it in your mind. For example, in a public place, an old friend of yours comes and greets you. It's Lai. You have a friend. from childhood 20 years 15 years ago 15 years later see you again meet each other again in a public place That friend recognizes you and Goes there called driver I say Hello and you don't say anything back that's not there In fact, if you want to answer back then say hello and say hello back then you say hello it's nice to meet you it's a disaster when you say hello the person doesn't answer it's not polite what you say or what you do called oan and that friend doesn't respond to you if that friend doesn't respond that's called impolite criticism ph is not impolite according to social etiquette through and again called Hoang la back and forth can That's ho leaf, that's how you understand, ancient scholars have a very traditional way, a very ancient way. Even though two people live far apart, maybe 50 miles or 100 miles away, they send each other a message. letter or a piece of paper with a few sentences in it for example I am a scholar and Kim is another scholar we have known each other for many years but lives 100 miles away from where I live there is a businessman He going over to the other side to trade I wrote a piece of paper or a letter of 100 words or a few sentences and gave it to him in handwriting and I stamped it and he went there and I wrote an article. poem about how beautiful the police are here What happens here and I remember Kim over there and this businessman friend goes there half a year later and comes back And She will write me a poem back using Chung Bac is forced to share Du with V. If my poem has an ao or a kim rhyme, I must use the same rhyme. A poem with similar rhymes and the merchant friend gave it to me is called driving. It is often used between friends Hoang Lai to communicate with each other today is very fast texting but 100 years ago it was done like that and in that paper If I were a scholar with beautiful calligraphy 100 Next year it becomes very valuable to show off to your friends about the art of calligraphy. There are many types of calligraphy. If you go to China's Summer Palace or the Summer Palace in Taiwan, there will be a museum that has many types of calligraphy. This is to show you that maybe 2000 years from now if you're famous people if everyone sees your messages on your iPhone but that's not art at all because everyone is the same. In that temple, they use that brush which is also called Hoang Loi. That's another way to say back to another aspect that I forgot to mention if they treat you well and you treat them well in return it's called Royal or Loyal If they treat you well and you don't treat them well then it's not polite but at the same time the other side is if they treat you badly and you want to protect your self esteem You say it's not good. If you get taken advantage of a little bit, it's okay, but a whole community here harms you from your side and wants to take revenge. That's the human level of fairness. If If you harm me, I will fight back. It could mean good things happen to me or it could mean bad things. If good things happen, I will treat them well. If bad things happen to me, I will fight back. Again, that's how ordinary people do it to make it fair. The eunuch leaf is a two-sided thing. It doesn't mean specifically good or bad, but if you put it in a sentence, it's a specific situation when something good comes to you. and do you want to respond with good things or if something bad comes, you can treat bad things back, it means thinking like that, is that amount of words too much for you ? okay Because when you watch the video you can stop and watch it again for a bit and do your homework. I think that's a benefit of online learning but there is a disadvantage that there is no interaction with each other which is a Disadvantage but the advantage is that you can stop the video to take notes and review the data on what you understand so you can do the exercises so you can understand everything at your learning speed. That's a strong point and a bad point. The disadvantage is that there is no direct interaction. I want your feedback on whether the study load is okay. Or do you need to slow down a bit? Or you can try different styles? Two years seems like a long time, but it's not that long. because you only spend a few hours a week at the end of the two year process. You may not be able to write 2,000 or 2,500 words. You may write almost the whole thing, but you can get it figured out, understand it completely, or 90 PH with a little help from tools like appco dictionary or other dictionaries you can read almost anything there are many people like me when I was young around second or third grade 8 9 10 years old just recognizes less than 2000 words but because he talks every day and reads Journey to the West maybe half of the words I can't understand but I just keep reading. When you reach that threshold you can read a few books And it helps increase your vocabulary a lot with the way we teach you to analyze words. For example, [music] x means green or very young, it's like in the spring something is growing there. is the light blue young stage the ch in the upper part is s the lower part is tan tan is the essential part is the very good part is the core part of something and when you combine it with the mind war set is the very core part The important thing about the mind is your feelings. All the good parts read is the frying pan in the clear vaccine. What in this world is the clearest? The clearest is the water. That's the water in the vaccine. When the fish meets the groom, there are many men. And among women, there is one person who shows off the best in a group of people, so this word is beautiful, but especially used to describe human beauty when you use the sun test combined with it, it means sunshine. the sky because it can be covered by the sun but everything is still clearly open to the whole that is the case with sunlight read as ch words are pronounced related to [music] ch when you change The guard is about the central part of the eye that follows with all kinds of combinations with the guard, these words X can also act as the guard. But when you put all the together in a group, usually the left part will be counted as the root because this word is related to the heart, related to water, related to people, related to the sun and eyes when you put these words next to each other. You You can see the part on the left as the root and ch provides the pronunciation and also provides the meaning, meaning the main thing. You remember that in the first lessons I talked about xe any most of the 80 minutes of modern Tien Trung alphabet called Xe San means that the part of the word mainly provides the pronunciation for the word, this left part mainly provides the meaning which certainly has something to do with water, related to the Mind, related to the human form or related to the sun and the part on the right is mainly the pronunciation part. In most cases, it not only provides the meaning part but also the pronunciation part because the blue ch has another meaning which is the core part that secretes the good part of the sun. something later when you reach a certain amount of vocabulary, I will explain many groups of this type of word so you can expand your vocabulary faster. The main purpose for us here is to learn the characters of the language but if we combine more of the meaning of the language with the culture and in the long run it will help you understand and remember it because when you understanding will be easier to remember and combine and create things in your head but it will have to go slowly, the speed of vocabulary accumulation will be slow which is a difficult language so whichever direction you want to go we have It might be easier to learn 10 or eight words at a time as some group that makes sense together. Sometimes I will compose a song or a paragraph or a small story with ch letters that I want to include in a Which way do you prefer or do you want to go at my pace? You can give feedback at any time. But in my mind, I have a goal of one year. 52 weeks may only be 50 weeks Because you still have rituals like going to school, so in 100 weeks we will reach 2000 words that you can read and have some basic knowledge about culture but read Songs or poems will help you improve your pronunciation, especially put each word in each sentence and then work with it as you read the whole sentence. Sometimes the tone is wrong. That's okay, but I think after a while. year Now you have made a lot of progress. Half a year has passed when we pass a year. At the end of this year, you will be much better. I will compose many passages and songs for you. If you If you have time, you are willing to help us arrange paragraphs, we will have textbooks for you, at least for those who study online. If we do well, we will share them with more people. In the future, if you find it too difficult, please feel free to give feedback. If you feel you can follow along, because you put effort into accumulating vocabulary or you study, you can freely compose a paragraph or If there is a word you don't know you can write in your own language of course English will be easier for me to understand because I don't understand Korean or Vietnamese Lang language You can use English to support writing Chinese sentences but if there are any words you don't know, you can use English. The purpose here is to practice thinking a series about Chinese. No matter what language you learn, you have to think in that language. Learn to think in that language. that 's very important after a while you are trained to think that way you learn the language otherwise you just learn how to translate I studied English for at least 10 years in China and come here for almost 30 years occasionally You hear me speak English a lot sometimes it 's half Chinese and half English it's not really English because I was taught that way I Translate quickly in my head I think in Chinese translate it into English and try to say it sometimes I speak fluently but when I say American they don't understand at all they say sorry can you say that again I think I speak very clearly but actually it's not that's not my style English so you don't want to learn any language especially Chinese the way it's translated that's the wrong way that's why most society teaches Chinese the wrong way that's why you study for a long time but but it's still not good. I try to incorporate culture into the language. You create your own sentences. Please feel free to send me your sentences with the English words in them and I will try to understand and correct them for you. It's a good practice exercise, it could be a song. A student wrote a very good poem. Don't hesitate to send it to me. We'll look at it together. It helps me understand you guys and helps you improve. okay Goodbye [music] friends
