One good way to learn Mandarin Chinese I've found is to learn words by categories. Which is why I chose to post this story this week. It's one of those stories which contain a moral of the story at the end, which I really like and will be looking towards posting more of these in the near future! I would rate this week's post as Beginner level, as it's generally an easy read with few big words
So I hope you guys like fruits, because you will learn many "fruit words" in this story. Of course this story is not just about fruits, but it did mention several fruits as examples. Please excuse the color spree I went on in this post, they are meant to be the colors of the fruits they represent 🙂
I've listed down all the names of fruits mentioned in Chinese in this short story. I hope you enjoy this story, as I sure did enjoy reading, translating and writing up this post. If you like this story or can relate to it, or just have any questions, please leave a comment below...
