Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
職涯
zhí yá
Career
💬 [職涯] is a Taiwan-friendly way to talk about your career path, broader than just one job. You'll often see it in compounds like [職涯發展] (career development) or [職涯規劃] (career planning).
See breakdown →活動
huó dòng
Event; activity
職涯活動
zhí yá huó dòng
Career event
昨天
zuó tiān
Yesterday
認識
rèn shí
To know; to get acquainted with
💬 [認識] often means first getting to know someone, not just already knowing them. So [很高興認識你] is the natural way to say "nice to meet you."
See breakdown →你
nǐ
You
認識你
rèn shí nǐ
Meet someone
💬 [認識你] means "meet/get to know you," not "know you" in the deep long-term sense. For already knowing someone or something well, Chinese often uses other wording depending on the situation.
See breakdown →我
wǒ
I; me
很
hěn
Very
💬 Before an adjective, [很] often just makes the sentence sound complete, not strongly "very." So [我很開心] can simply mean "I'm happy," while real emphasis is more like [非常開心].
