This is an HSK 1 Chinese listening episode that runs about 4 minutes. The full Mandarin script is shown with tap-for-pinyin and a line-by-line English translation, so you can listen and read at once — comprehensible input in the sense of Stephen Krashen's i+1 theory. It teaches 12 key vocabulary words such as 今天、喜欢、高兴 and walks through 4 grammar patterns, each explained in English with examples.
Today. The narrator opens with 今天我给你说一个人 — 'today I'll tell you about a person.'
To like. 很多人都喜欢他 — 'many people like him.' Also 巴西人很喜欢足球.
Happy, glad. When Neymar hears his name, 他太高兴了 — 'he was so happy.'
Name. The key moment: 内马尔的名字，在名单上 — 'Neymar's name is on the list.'
To look, watch, read. 大家都在看名单 — 'everyone is looking at the list'; 我看了这个新闻 — 'I read this news.'
To think, to want. 大家都在想 — 'everyone is wondering'; 你有没有很想做的事 — 'is there something you really want to do?'
Football (足 foot + 球 ball). Beyond HSK1. The episode glosses it: 用脚，去踢一个球 — 'using your feet to kick a ball.'
To get hurt, to be injured. Beyond HSK1. The episode explains it: 身体很疼，不好了 — 'the body is in pain, not well.'
A competition, a match. Beyond HSK1. 一个很大的足球比赛 — 'a very big football competition,' the World Cup.
Coach. Beyond HSK1. The episode introduces it gently: 巴西队有一个老师，我们叫他教练 — 'the team has a teacher; we call him the coach.'
A name list. Beyond HSK1. The episode defines it: 一些人的名字 — 'some people's names.' Being on it means going to the World Cup.
To give up. Beyond HSK1. The episode's heart: 可是他没有放弃 — 'but he did not give up.'
* beyond level超纲词
X，就是 Y
A simple way to explain a new word: say the word, then 就是, then a plain definition. The episode uses it again and again to teach hard words to beginners.
受伤，就是身体很疼。
名单，就是一些人的名字。
太 + adjective + 了
太…了 expresses a strong degree — 'so' or 'too.' The episode uses it for both feelings and facts.
他太高兴了。
他也太老了。
verb + 得 + adjective
得 links an action to how it is done. 踢得很好 = 'plays very well'; 伤得很重 = 'is badly hurt.' A core beginner pattern for describing actions.
踢得非常好。
伤得很重。
一直在 + verb
一直 means 'continuously,' and 在 marks an ongoing action. Together they show something done without stopping — here, Neymar's long wait.
他一直在等。
一直在练习。
