Technology in Chinese | 45 Words in One Song - HSK 3-7 | LINA NEU69 Lesson 52

Technology in Chinese - 45 words in one song, first in English and then the same melody in Mandarin. Learn English. Speak Chinese. "Auntie, let me teach you to pay with your phone." 阿姨，我教您用手机支付吧。 Āyí, wǒ jiāo nín yòng shǒujī zhīfù ba. The song is called "Fàngxià Shǒujī, Technology". 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 52 of 66, in Chapter 5: MODERN LIFE (Intermediate+). Alex stops being a visitor and starts reading the society around him - renting, neighbours, public services, rules, schooling, environment, technology and AI.
