This song is really simple; great for kids who want to study Chinese. I started studying Chinese three years ago, and since then I’ve learned a ton about Chinese culture, especially Chinese poems. There are lots of songs and poems praising mothers in China, for example, the popular song “世上只有妈妈好 (Mom is the Best)” and the verse “慈母手中线/游子身上衣 (Thread in the hands of a fond-hearted mother / Makes clothes for her wayward boy)
I just began Studying Chinese, and I also enjoy listening to simple Chinese songs like this one. Chinese poems are a little hard for me. By the way, could anyone tell me how to say “go to work” in Chinese?
You can say “上班 (shàngbān)” as “go to work” in Chinese. It is the opposite of “下班.” You can study Chinese well by learning antonyms in Chinese.
Please recommend books for me that are written in mandarin , Yingyu and pinyin. I prefer comprehention type of books which have a strory then questions to check comprehention.
I AM BEGINNER BOTH IN LEARNING CHINESE AND COMPUTER.I UNDERSTAND SONG BUT HARD TO FIND HANZI.
THANKS.
