Setting Goals in Chinese | 45 Words in One Song - HSK 4-6 | LINA NEU69 Lesson 59

Setting Goals in Chinese - 45 words in one song, first in English and then the same melody in Mandarin. Learn English. Speak Chinese. "What's your New Year's wish this year?" 你今年的新年愿望是什么？ Nǐ jīnnián de xīnnián yuànwàng shì shénme? The song is called "Qiān Lǐ Zhī Xíng, Setting Goals". How this song works The song is sung twice. The first half is entirely in English so you already know what every line means. The second half is the same song, same melody, same lines - in Mandarin. Nothing is translated line by line in between, so your ear does the work instead of your eyes. The Mandarin half is sung slower than normal pop, in standard Putonghua, with every syllable articulated and the tones kept clean. On-screen you get three lines at once: English, Chinese characters and pinyin. This is Lesson 59 of 66, in Chapter 6: THINK, SPEAK & GROW (Advanced). The last chapter is about saying harder things well - relationships, disagreement, problems, goals, and what to do after something fails.
