你好. Néih hóu.
This week I had my first Kung-Fu class. Hi-ya! I really like it. Right now I'm just a white belt, but someday I'll be a black belt! My favorite move is the Scissor Kick. It's kind of tricky, but I'm getting better.
Did you know Kung-Fun means, "Chinese Martial Arts?" It is not KARATE, Karate is from Japan! Kung-Fu is from China! So I'll be learning a little bit of Cantonese. Like how to count to 10! But it won't be easy!!
One: 一 = yuht. to say "yuht" say it with an exclaimation mark. like this, "Yuht!" but say it fast and shortly.
Two: 二 = yee. to say "yee" say it lowly and longer than "yuht."
Three: 三 = sahm. say it normally.
Four: 四 = say. Say it like you would say, "Say that." Emphasis on the "say"
Five: 五 = mmm. this is tricky. Instead of saying, "Mmm!" Like you tasted something good. Say it lowly and without expression, "Mmm."
Six: 六 = look. Say it like "yuht!"
Seven: 七 = Tchut. "Tch" and then the "ut" sound.
Eight: 八 = Baht. Say it like what is looks like.
Nine: 九 = gow. The "O" is long.
Ten: 十 = Sup. Say it like, "What's sup" Emphasis on the "sup"
