1. Lesson 2 Measuring words Felice Ting

2. Measure words
It is recommended to start this lesson by introducing the photo mentioned in text I. This picture corresponds to that. You can click the speaker on the upper-left corner to play the text. At the same time, you can point at the specific person that’s being mentioned. After that, you could ask a series of questions based on the text.
e.g. 这是什么？(point at the whole picture) 这是谁的照片？ 她是谁？他是谁？这个男孩子是我弟弟吗？他是谁？我大哥有女儿吗？Etc.
