1019000	1025000	将同志您早.
1025000	1027000	Now you start the conversation.
1027000	1029000	Say good morning to Kamran Jiang.
1029000	1034000	You'll get a confirmation and a reply.
1034000	1036000	将同志您早.
1036000	1038000	早.
1038000	1042000	若瓦克女士您好.
1042000	1045000	Again.
1045000	1048000	将同志您早.
1048000	1049000	早.
1049000	1053000	若瓦克女士您好.
1053000	1057000	Now listen to Miss Novak's reply.
1057000	1058000	早.
1058000	1061000	若瓦克女士您好.
1061000	1063000	我很好.
1063000	1065000	Repeat the word for very.
1065000	1067000	狠.
1067000	1069000	狠.
1069000	1071000	狠.
1071000	1074000	Although we translate 狠 as very,
1074000	1077000	actually it's not quite as strong as very.
1077000	1080000	I'm quite well might be closer.
1080000	1082000	Repeat I'm very well.
1082000	1085000	我很好.
1085000	1087000	我很好.
1087000	1091000	我很好.
1091000	1094000	This sentence is a good example of the rule that
1094000	1097000	the low tone changes to rising tone before another low tone.
1097000	1099000	Remember in the sentence I'm fine.
1099000	1102000	我 and好 became我好.
1102000	1106000	Now we find three syllables which originally have the low tone.
1106000	1111000	The first two syllables change to the rising tone before the third low tone syllable.
1111000	1113000	Repeat I'm very well again.
1113000	1116000	我很好.
1116000	1120000	我很好.
1120000	1123000	我很好.
1123000	1126000	How is abouting to come at Jiang's greeting?
1126000	1127000	早.
1127000	1131000	若瓦克女士您好.
1131000	1134000	我很好.
1134000	1136000	Again.
1136000	1137000	早.
1137000	1141000	若瓦克女士您好.
1141000	1144000	我很好.
1144000	1146000	Now let's try the whole exchange.
1146000	1148000	First you greet come at Jiang,
1148000	1152000	then you reply to his greeting.

1165000	1168000	江同志您早.
1168000	1169000	早.
1169000	1173000	若瓦克女士您好.
1173000	1175000	我很好.
1175000	1178000	The conversation might continue like this.
1178000	1179000	Listen.
1179000	1183000	请问您是美国哪的人?
1183000	1186000	我是加州旧金山人.
1186000	1189000	Most of this exchange is already familiar to you.
1189000	1192000	The thing which is new is the name for San Francisco.

1197000	1199000	旧金山.
1199000	1202000	旧金山.
1202000	1205000	This name is literally Old Gold Mountain.
1205000	1208000	Say San Francisco.
1208000	1213000	旧金山.
1213000	1214000	Repeat the sentence,

1224000	1228000	我是加州旧金山人.
1228000	1230000	You'll notice that unlike in English,
1230000	1232000	you mentioned the larger area first,
1232000	1233000	then the smaller area.
1233000	1234000	Repeat,
1234000	1237000	I'm from San Francisco, California again.
1237000	1243000	我是加州旧金山人.
1243000	1247000	我是加州旧金山人.

1250000	1252000	加州.
1252000	1256000	What's the word for San Francisco?
1256000	1258000	旧金山.
1258000	1264000	How do you say I'm from San Francisco, California?
