Here’s your first Chinese lesson. It’s really simple. I’m going to try writing a new into lesson each week. We’ll see. The first line are actual Chinese characters. The second line is pinyin, phonetic guidelines for each of these characters in the mandarin dialect. Last, a simple English translation of each line.

夏天到了

xiàtiān dào le

Summer is here!

請多喝水

qǐng duō hē shuǐ

Please drink a lot of water.

長保健康

cháng bǎo jiànkāng

Guarantees a long, healthy life.

So now that summer time is here:
• Clean out your body, it’s made mostly of water
• Save money, don’t waste money on coffee and tea
• Adjust your body temperature, keep cool
