Learning Chinese Fruits with aespa26

aespa is a popular South Korean girl group known for their catchy songs and innovative virtual reality concept. In an episode of their reality show "aespa's Synk Road," the members were tasked with learning the Chinese names for various fruits.

NINGNING: The eldest member, NINGNING, is fluent in Chinese and already knew many of the fruits. However, she struggled with the pronunciation of some words, such as "荔枝" (lychee) and "桃子" (peach).

KARINA: As the leader, KARINA showed her determination to learn the correct pronunciations. She carefully repeated the names of the fruits after a native Chinese speaker, paying attention to the tones and syllable breaks.

GISELLE: GISELLE, who grew up in Japan, approached the task with enthusiasm and a good ear for language. She was able to reproduce the Chinese sounds quite well, impressing her fellow members.

WINTER: WINTER, known for her sweet and clear vocals, surprised the others with her ability to sing the Chinese names of the fruits. She used her voice to imitate the tones and melody of the language.

During the learning process, the members employed various techniques to aid their memory. They wrote the Chinese characters next to the fruits, created flashcards, and even made up their own silly songs to help them remember the pronunciations.

The members' dedication and humor made the learning experience enjoyable and effective. They not only expanded their vocabulary but also gained a deeper appreciation for the Chinese language and culture.

Here are some of the fruits that aespa learned during the episode:
苹果 (apple)
