If you can’t access YouTube, you can also check out the video on Youku<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>A: Hey guys welcome back to episode 11 of the Scavenger Sunday video.<br \/>\nN: Is it episode 11 already?<br \/>\nA: Yeah..<br \/>\nN: Oh man, how time flies! Welcome back everyone. \u6b22\u8fce\u5149\u4e34\u6536\u770b\u6211\u4eec\u7684\u8282\u76ee\u3002<br \/>\nA: Last week we introduced you to the \u4e0a character. So what does \u4e0a actually mean?<br \/>\nN: \u4e0a has a lot of meanings. It can mean ‘on top of’, it can mean ‘above’, it can mean ‘on’. So Allen, maybe you can give us some examples to explain how to use \u4e0a in Chinese.<br \/>\nA: So, I think I can give you 2 example sentences. The first one is \u2018\u6211\u5728\u697c\u4e0a\u2019, which means ‘I am upstairs.’ The second one can maybe be ‘\u6211\u4eca\u5929\u8981\u53bb\u4e0a\u5b66\u3002’ That means ‘Today I want to go to school.’<br \/>\nN: Awww, ‘\u4eca\u5929\u6211\u4e0d\u60f3\u4e0a\u5b66\u3002’ Which means ‘I don’t want to go to school today!’<br \/>\nA: Ohhh, you are so naughty…<br \/>\nN: I should have known that sentence as a child! So lets see some of those videos you sent us this week.<\/p>\n<p>[Video montage]<\/p>\n<p>A: That’s cool. Thank you everyone for sending us your great videos and photos this week.<br \/>\nN: Yeah, thanks everybody and we’re looking forward to seeing your videos next week! Don’t be shy!<br \/>\nA: So let’s have a look at the next weeks character. What’s next weeks character?<br \/>\nN: So next week we’re going to be looking at the character \u4e0b (xi\u00e0). \u4e0b is a nice character to go along side \u4e0a our word from this week because \u4e0a and \u4e0b basically means up and down, above and below, they’re often seen together! So for example, ‘\u4e0a\u4e0b\u8f66’ which means to get on or off a train or a car or another kind of vehicle so if you’ve ever been to China you’ve probably heard this a lot in the metro.<br \/>\nA: So I can give you 1 example sentence ‘\u6211\u4eca\u5929\u60f3\u65e9\u70b9\u4e0b\u73ed\u3002’ which means ‘I want to finish work early today.’<br \/>\nN: That’s also useful. So can you show us how to write the character?<br \/>\nA: Yeah, here we go?<\/p>\n<p>A: Hey everyone, it’s Allen once again here to show you how to use the WCC Chinese Dictionary to find the stroke animation of the \u4e0b character. So you can find this Chinese dictionary on our site <a href=\"http:\/\/www.writtenchinese.com\/apps\/\" title=\"Our Apps\">www.writtenchinese.com\/apps<\/a>. So first open the app and as Nora explained earlier, \u4e0b means down so you can search ‘down’ in the search box and tap the search button. Then you can see the \u4e0b character is the top one of the ‘Top 3 Characters’ list, so just tap the \u4e0b character. Tap ‘Writing’ and you can see the stroke animation of the \u4e0b character and you will find this character is easy to write. Click the ‘More info’ for information on the \u4e0b character. Don’t forget to download our example sentence package to check out these great example sentences as it’s more convenient for you to understand the \u4e0b character. That’s all, thanks.<\/p>\n<p>N: Thanks for that Allen, I think I can handle that one.<br \/>\nA: My pleasure.
