The Pronunciation and Meaning of Chinese Names (In-person)
Wednesday 28th May 2025, 10:00am
This is an In-person session at Highfield Campus
The correct pronunciation of a Chinese student’s name and an understanding of its meaning is great way to establish an instant dialogue and effective rapport which paves the way for a far more productive learning experience.
In my experience, even those completely new to the Chinese language can learn to pronounce Chinese names within a very short space of time and this seminar will assume no prior knowledge of the Chinese language at all.
Chinese students studying outside China often assume that those around them not only lack knowledge of their culture but also lack interest too. By improving our ability to pronounce Chinese names and develop some understanding of their meaning we will break down these barriers very quickly and permanently.
By the end of this event, participants should gain:
An ability to pronounce Chinese (Pinyin) names much better where the sound is much closer to the sound produced by a native Chinese speaker
An understanding of the most common male and female Chinese names, forenames and family names
An understanding of the prepresentation of Chinese names
An understanding of the meaning of common Chinese name
