Chinese Dictation
- This is the second dictation exercise. So far, we have learnt 150 characters.
- As I always believe, practice makes perfect. One of the good ways to practice Chinese characters is through 听写.
- Again, 听写 (tīng xiě)means dictation. “听” is listen while “写” means write.
- Same as the Dictation I, this audio will take around 3 minutes with a list of 12 Chinese words.
- Be prepared with your 笔 (pen) 和 纸 (paper)。
- Click on the play to listen and write down the characters on the paper. Replay the audio if you can’t get the words.
- You can check the answers at the end of the post.
- Ready? Go !
- You might want to share your result in the comment session.
- Have a nice weekend. Happy learning.

你好 Min Min!
I was wondering about sentence no. 5 because I would say
我想去在家。 Is that correct or it’s better that I use 回家 instead?
And also I love phrase 开心 – literally “open heart”. I will remember that for sure 🙂
谢谢!
Hi paradox,
It is not correct to say “我想去在家。”
You should say “我想回家。” or “我想要回家。”. Both have the same meaning.
