The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in Chinese, Chapter 2 (Part 2): The Council with the Munchkins (和芒奇金人见面)
The little old woman turns out to be the Good Witch of the North. She gives Dorothy the silver shoes, tells her about the great Wizard of Oz, and sends her off along the road of yellow brick to the Emerald City with a kiss on the forehead.
In this hour-long video Min, a Chinese teacher on Good Talk, reads the second half of chapter 2 aloud sentence by sentence, explains every new word and grammar pattern, and asks you to read after her. The notes below list the words worth learning and the grammar in each paragraph.
