I heard it’s going to rain this weekend, so I’m planning to stay home and watch a movie. Let’s learn how to say “I heard / people say” in Chinese.

听说 （tīng shuō)

Hello，大家好，我是Janine。
Hello, dàjiā hǎo, wǒ shì Janine.Hello everyone, I’m Janine.

听说这周末要下雨。
Tīng shuō zhè zhōumò yào xià yǔ.I heard it’s going to rain this weekend.

所以我打算在家休息，看一部新电影。
Suǒyǐ wǒ dǎsuàn zài jiā xiūxi, kàn yí bù xīn diànyǐng.So I’m planning to stay home and watch a new movie.

朋友告诉我，那部电影很好笑。
Péngyou gàosu wǒ, nà bù diànyǐng hěn hǎo xiào.My friend told me it’s really funny.

我想，既然外面下雨，笑一笑也不错。
Wǒ xiǎng, jìrán wàimiàn xià yǔ, xiào yí xiào yě bú cuò.I thought, since it’s raining outside, having a laugh isn’t bad at all.
