Animals play a large role in Chinese culture, as they do in most cultures. Many animals have a symbolic role, representing various characteristics and virtues.

In today's video lesson, Teacher Helena introduces some important animal names and play a game of charades with the students to identify each animal in their Chinese name.

Here are the important animal names in Chinese which Helena introduces today:

猫 (māo) = cat
狗 (gǒu) = dog
老虎 (lǎohǔ) = tiger 
熊猫 (xióng māo) = panda
兔子 (tùzǐ) = rabbit

All of these animals have important representations in Chinese culture. You can get a free eBook titled Most Popular Chinese Tales with Animals by joining us here: https://goo.gl/za00Zq
