Special reminder: Our ultimate goal is to help children learn mathematics, physics and chemistry in English and get admitted to their ideal university. Focus on sprinting to the Junior Class of HKUST (basic requirement: take the college entrance examination before 16 years old) and famous foreign universities.
Parents and friends, please remember: More than 60% of modern English words have Latin and Greek roots. In science, more than 90% of words are derived from Latin and Greek.
Fundamentally speaking, the most basic task to truly solve the word problem in English, French , German , Italian , Spanish is to understand the common word-forming parts of Latin and Greek (equivalent to Chinese radical).
Parents and friends please let your children listen to the pronunciation of native speakers as much as possible, especially the songs sung by native speakers.
If you want to learn scientific and technological knowledge through English, the sooner you can learn Greek letters, the better.
Before continuing with this course, please read "Primary School Students Simultaneously Play with English, Latin, and Greek Pronunciation".
In all human languages, the pronunciations of f, l, m, n, and s are basically the same.
You don’t have to believe what I say. The screenshot below is from a Spanish version of the Chinese tutorial.
The above introduces that the Chinese s corresponds to the s in the Spanish word casa.
Except for the English vowel where the letter a is pronounced [eɪ], the pronunciation of a in other languages is basically the same.
Classical Latin a and Ancient Greek α has long and short vowels.
[Spanish] casa (International Phonetic Alphabet /ˈkasa/) f. house, home, housework, business, company, place, customer
disassembly: cas+a.
-a is the "feminine singular" suffix in Latin, Italian, and Spanish.
Parents and friends please remember: p, t, and k in Latin, Italian, and Spanish correspond to b, d, and g in Chinese Pinyin, and π, τ, and κ in Greek.
Therefore, the pronunciation of ca in Spanish corresponds to ga in Chinese Pinyin, and the pronunciation of sa is the same as sa in Chinese Pinyin.
The pronunciations of fa, la, ma, na and sa in Latin, Italian, Spanish, French, German, English and Chinese Pinyin are basically the same.
As long as you insist on remembering words by understanding their etymology on the basis of understanding them, you can completely ignore the differences in pronunciation details between different languages.
In fact, p, t, and k in Chinese Pinyin are aspirated voiceless stops, corresponding to ph, th, and ch in classical Latin, φ, θ, and χ in ancient Greek, and फ, थ, and ख in Sanskrit.
A few modern languages, such as English, German, Korean and Chinese, have "aspirated voiceless stops".
There are no "aspirated voiceless stops" in languages such as Italian and Spanish, descendants of Latin, and there are only very few "aspirated sounds" in French.
Therefore, it is more difficult for Spanish children to learn Chinese pronunciation than for Chinese children to learn Spanish pronunciation.
Chinese children can easily distinguish between "Po (p), Te (t), Ke (k)" and "Bo (b), De (d), Ge (g)".
English and German p, t, and k are divided into two situations: one is aspirated and the other is unaspirated.
The aspirated p, t, and k in English and German correspond to the p, t, and k in Chinese Pinyin, while the unaspirated ones correspond to the b, d, and g in Chinese Pinyin.
Spanish children will have the same trouble learning English, German, classical Latin, ancient Greek, Korean, Sanskrit, Hindi and Chinese.
The h in Chinese Pinyin corresponds to the International Phonetic Alphabet [x], the j in Spanish, and the x in Russian.
Therefore, if you can read "haha" in Chinese, you can read jaja in Spanish, and ха-ха in Russian.
The h in Spanish, Italian, and French is basically not pronounced.
The r in Chinese Pinyin is close to the r in English, but the pronunciation is quite different from the r in Latin, Italian, Spanish, and German and French.
Chinese finals except n and ng basically end with a vowel. That is to say, the pronunciation of Chinese characters is basically "open syllable-vowel ending".
Below, we learn a sentence in Spanish:
[Spanish] Me gusta China.
[English] I like China.
[Chinese] I like China.
Spanish me is pronounced [me], which is close to "every mei" in Chinese.
[Spanish] gustar (International Phonetic Alphabet /ɡusˈtaɾ/) vt. taste, taste, be happy, try vi. make like
dismantling: gust+ar.
-ar is one of the Spanish verb infinitive suffixes.
Etymology: Borrowed in this form from Latin gustāre, present active infinitive of gustō.
As long as you are willing, you can easily master the corresponding verbs in Italian and Latin.
【Italian】gustare (International Phonetic Alphabet/ɡuˈsta.re/) [I.] v.tr. (1) Taste, taste, taste:
La prego di gustare questa minestra. Please try this soup.
Se mangi troppo in fretta non gusti nulla. You eat it too fast and you can’t taste it.

If you were told that ma- in the English words mask, mast, master and mā- in Latin, and "mama" in Chinese have the same pronunciation, you would definitely not dismantle them into separate letters. "back".
【English】mask['mæsk /mɑːsk]n. mask; cover; camouflage; protective mask v. wear a mask; blur; conceal; disguise; mask; wear a mask
【English】mast['mæst /mɑːst]n . mast, mast; flagpole; column; Antenna mast
[English] master ['mæstər /'mɑːstə]n. master, mother machine, master v. conquer; master; control adj. master's, main
dismantling: mas+ter.
The mas- here is the variation of the Latin magis.
Etymology: From Middle English maister, mayster, meister (noun) and maistren (verb), from Old English mǣster, mæġster, mæġester, mæġister, magister (“master”), from Latin magister (“chief, teacher, leader” ), from Old Latin magester, from Proto-Indo-European *méǵh₂s, (as in magnus ("great")) + -ester/-ister (compare minister ("servant")).
The English master is derived from the Latin magister ("chief, teacher, leader") in the Old English period.
[English] magister [məˈdʒistə]n. Ancient Rome or medieval teacher
dismantling: magis+ter.
[Latin] magister: magister, magistri n. m. teacher, tutor, master, expert, chief; pilot of a ship; rabbi;
dismantling: magis+ter.
comes from: From Proto-Italic *magisteros. Equivalent to magis (“more or great”) + Proto-Indo-European *-teros. Compare minister.
Earlier, we introduced it many times: Latin -ter corresponds to English -ther has two origins: one is a noun suffix derived from PIE (Proto-Indo-European) meaning "~", and the other is a suffix meaning "comparison".
The -ter here comes from the suffix *-teros of the PIE table "comparison".
[Latin] magis adv. to greater extent, more nearly; rather, instead; more;
China in Spanish looks exactly the same as China in English, but the pronunciation is slightly different.
The most important difference is that the vowel letter i in English is pronounced as its letter sound [aɪ].
【English】China[ 'tʃaɪnə]n. China
disassembly: chin+a.
English vowels in non- stress the syllable , usually pronounced [ə].
In languages other than English, the pronunciation of i is basically the same as the i in Chinese Pinyin.
【Spanish】China (International Phonetic Alphabet/ˈt͡ʃina/) n.pr. China
disassembly: Chin+a.
The pronunciation of chin in Spanish is basically the same as "Qin qin" in Chinese.
The Spanish word "China" has the same pronunciation as the Italian word "Cina" (International Phonetic Alphabet/ˈt͡ʃi.na/), which is very close to the Chinese word "qina".
As long as you are willing, you can also learn to say "I love China" in Italian.
【Italian】Io amo la Cina.
【German】Ich liebe China.
【French】J'aime la Chine.
Amo in Italian and Latin means "I love". The -o is the suffix indicating "first person singular".
