ABOUT THIS POST: The Chinese word today is: 唉 (ai) "Alas". It's #4 on the new HSK 5 list. The HSK (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi) is a standardised test for the Chinese language. In this case, by "HSK 5 list", I am referring to the list of words in the vocabulary for level 5 of the HSK test. You can read more about the HSK on Wikipedia. And if you want all the various words/vocab lists, or all the words in one huge list, you can go here.
SOME NEWS: The past few previous posts for the last few weeks have been part of a sneak-peak preview of my first self-published book (links below). The plan for now is to continue with what I announced earlier, to periodically work on HSK 5. I'll be doing this to demonstrate other aspects/techniques of mnemonics, for your learning and edutainment, as well as for my own learning. See if you can follow this free-style-imagination story for HSK 5, and maybe you can catch on to the hidden connections (and hidden mistakes) in the story along the way!
