Hello everybody!! 大家好 (Dàjiā hǎo)

Welcome back to our Chinese Class by Gemmy and Affy. Today we are going to learn about all colors in English Thai and Mandarin Chinese.

Let’s get started!  我们开始吧 (wǒmen kāishǐ ba)

AdditiveColor.svgFirst of all, we will tell you what are the primary colors and how many primary colors are there.

Primary colors are sets of colors that can be combined to make a useful range of colors and there are 3 colors which are red, blue and green. When you combine any two of the Pure Primary color, you will get 3 new mixtures called Secondary Colors which are green, purple and orange.

 

Colors vocabularies in Chinese
Color in Chinese 颜色; Pinyin: Yánsè

It is composed of these characters: 颜 (yan) and 色 (se). There is another word in Chinese that means color too. It is 彩 ; Pinyin: căi. We can see this word from Rainbow color in Chinese which is  七彩; Pinyin: qīcǎi

Black in Chinese 黑色; Pinyin: hēisè
White in Chinese 白色; Pinyin: báisècolor
Red in Chinese 红色; Pinyin: hóngsè
Yellow in Chinese 黄色; Pinyin: huángsè
Pink in Chinese 粉色; Pinyin: fěnsè
Green in Chinese 绿色; Pinyin: lǜsè
Orange in Chinese 橙色; Pinyin: chéngsè
Purple in Chinese 紫色; Pinyin: zǐsè
Blue in Chinese 蓝色; Pinyin: lánsè
Golden in Chinese 金色; Pinyin: jīnsè
Silver in Chinese 银色; Pinyin: yínsè

As per below video, we learn how to spell color vocabularies in English as well as how to call all colors in Mandarin Chinese.

When young child start going to any preschool level, their knowledge of colors is tested. Colors are an easy way to check learning and it is possible to start teaching the colors at a very early age. We can say that colors and shapes are two easy-to-teach topics for kids. I suggest you play “I Spy Color” with your kids or singing “Rainbow song” etc. They will love it.

Vocabularies from video
Red in Chinese 红色 hóngsè and in Thai สีแดง
Yellow in Chinese 黄色 huángsè and in Thai สีเหลือง
White in Chinese 白色 báisè and in Thai สีขาว
Orange in Chinese 橙色 chéngsè and in Thai สีส้ม
Blue in Chinese 蓝色 lánsè and in Thai สีฟ้า
Pink in Chinese 粉红色 fěnhóngsè and in Thai สีชมพู

Green in Chinese 绿色 lǜsè and in Thai สีเขียว
Purple in Chinese 紫色 zǐsè and in Thai สีม่วง
Brown in Chinese 棕色 zōngsè and in Thai สีน้ำตาล

Another way to teach your child color is reading a children book like “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See”. This is one of the story book that can be used to teach children colors. Furthermore, ordinary way is still useful, color flashcards. It helps children focusing on color to inducing the words along with color as pre-reading skills.

We will add more Mandarin Chinese lessons as many as we can, please just stay tuned. And don’t forget to subscribe our YouTube channel to keep updated every day.

Thank you for watching, see you next lesson. Bye bye

谢谢大家 (Xièxiè dàjiā)
