Lesson Transcript

Do you know how to give clear instructions and requests in Chinese?
You'll learn how in just a moment.
Hi, my name is Fangfang, and this is Three Step Chinese by ChineseClass101.com.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to give clear instructions and requests through a quick conversation.
Let's look at the dialogue.
As you listen, pay attention to how they ask about the topic and how the other person responds.
奶奶，你能教我一些中国菜吗？(Nǎinai, nǐ néng jiāo wǒ yīxiē zhōngguó cài ma?)
可以啊，我们先从煮鸡蛋汤开始吧。先把水倒入锅里。(Kěyǐ a, wǒmen xiān cóng zhǔ jīdàn tāng kāishǐ ba. Xiān bǎ shuǐ dào rù guō li.)
好。(Hǎo.)
这个黄瓜洗一下，然后切一切。先放鸡蛋在碗里，别放在锅里。(Zhège huángguā xǐ yī xià, ránhòu qiē yīqiē. Xiān fàng jīdàn zài wǎn li, bié fàng zài guō li.)
好的。(Hǎo de.)
等等，那不是黄瓜，那是西葫芦。(Děng deng, nà bú shì huángguā, nà shì xīhúlu.)
Let's hear it with the English translation.
奶奶，你能教我一些中国菜吗？(Nǎinai, nǐ néng jiāo wǒ yīxiē zhōngguó cài ma?)
"Grandma, can you teach me some Chinese dishes?"
Pay attention to the next sentence. It follows the key speaking pattern you'll learn later in this lesson.
可以啊，我们先从煮鸡蛋汤开始吧。先把水倒入锅里。(Kěyǐ a, wǒmen xiān cóng zhǔ jīdàn tāng kāishǐ ba. Xiān bǎ shuǐ dào rù guō li.)
"Sure! Let's start by cooking egg soup. First, pour the water into the pot."
好。(Hǎo.)
"Okay."
Pay attention to the next sentence as well. It follows another key speaking pattern you'll learn later.
这个黄瓜洗一下，然后切一切。先放鸡蛋在碗里，别放在锅里。(Zhège huángguā xǐ yī xià, ránhòu qiē yīqiē. Xiān fàng jīdàn zài wǎn li, bié fàng zài guō li.)
"Wash this cucumber and then cut it up. First, put the eggs in a bowl, not in the pot."
好的。(Hǎo de.)
"Okay."
等等，那不是黄瓜，那是西葫芦。(Děng deng, nà bú shì huángguā, nà shì xīhúlu.)
"Wait, that's not a cucumber, that's a zucchini."
