    Mandarin 普通话 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo

    大家现在学的中文，也就是汉语，应该都是说的普通话。 dà jiā|xiàn zài|xué|de|zhōng wén，yě|jiù shì|hàn yǔ，yīng gāi|dōu|shì|shuō|de|pǔ tōng huà。 The Chinese you are learning now, that is, Mandarin, should all be Putonghua. 其实中国非常大，有很多方言，各个城市之间的方言甚至都听不懂。 qí shí|zhōng guó|fēi cháng|dà，yǒu|hěn duō|fāng yán，gè gè|chéng shì|zhī jiān|de|fāng yán|shèn zhì|dōu|tīng|bù dǒng。 Actually, China is very big with many dialects, and people even can’t understand dialects from different cities. 但是随着现代化的发展，普通话越来越普及。 dàn shì|suí zhe|xiàn dài huà|de|fā zhǎn，pǔ tōng huà|yuè lái yuè|pǔ jí。 But with modern development, Putonghua is becoming more and more popular. 像我家里，我是重庆人，我老公是甘肃人，但是我们家都是说普通话。 xiàng|wǒ|jiā lǐ，wǒ|shì|chóng qìng rén，wǒ|lǎo gōng|shì|gān sù rén，dàn shì|wǒ men|jiā|dōu|shì|shuō|pǔ tōng huà。 In my family, I’m from Chongqing and my husband is from Gansu, but we all speak Putonghua at home. 我们家孩子从小就说普通话。 wǒ men|jiā|hái zi|cóng xiǎo|jiù|shuō|pǔ tōng huà。 Our kids have spoken Putonghua since they were little. 他们幼儿园里，比如一个班三十几个小孩，绝大部分都是说普通话，只有很小一部分习惯于说方言。 tā men|yòu ér yuán|lǐ，bǐ rú|yī gè|bān|sān shí jǐ gè|xiǎo hái，jué dà bù fèn|dōu|shì|shuō|pǔ tōng huà，zhǐ yǒu|hěn xiǎo|yī bù fèn|xí guàn yú|shuō|fāng yán。 In their kindergarten, for example, a class of more than 30 kids, most speak Putonghua, only a small part are used to dialect. 我老公的哥哥和他的老婆都是甘肃人，但他们定居在上海，他们家小孩也没有说甘肃话，都是说普通话。 wǒ|lǎo gōng|de|gē ge|hé|tā|de|lǎo pó|dōu|shì|gān sù rén，dàn|tā men|dìng jū|zài|shàng hǎi，tā men|jiā|xiǎo hái|yě|méi yǒu|shuō|gān sù huà，dōu|shì|shuō|pǔ tōng huà。 My husband’s brother and his wife are both from Gansu, but they live in Shanghai, and their kid also speaks Putonghua instead of Gansu dialect. --------- For full transcript or 1 on 1 tutoring: yoyomo85@gmail.com
