This episode is part of the Essential Mandarin series on Little Mandarin Season 2, designed to take you from complete beginner to real-life everyday Mandarin.
In Lesson 6, we’re learning how to talk about close family in Mandarin — and why family words in Chinese can feel much more specific than they do in English.
You’ll learn useful everyday words like 妈妈, 爸爸, 哥哥, 姐姐, 弟弟, and 妹妹, as well as simple pronouns like 我, 你, 他, 她, and 它 to help you build real sentences.
We’ll also explore why Chinese family terms are often so detailed, and how ideas about age, family role, and relationships are reflected directly in the language.
By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to talk simply and naturally about your close family in Mandarin.
