HELLO NI HAOLesson and Word Wall Cards

for parents

Lesson. Hello! Let’s say “Hello!” in Chinese! “Nǐ Ha ̌o!” “Nǐ” means “you”. “Ha ̌o” means “good”. This is the most commonly used Chinese greeting you will hear in everyday conversation. When we add the question word “ma” at the end of a sentence it shows that it is a question. How are you? – Ni hao ma? 你好嗎?

Hello Song

Hello! Hello! How are you? Nǐ hǎo nǐ hǎo nǐ hǎo ma 你 好 �你 好 �你 好 嗎你 好 �你 好 �你 好 吗

Very well. Very well. Thank you! Hěn hǎo hěn hǎo xìe xìe nǐ很 好 �很 好 �謝 謝 你很 好 �很 好 �谢 谢 你
