somethingfunny Posted September 8, 2016 at 07:20 PM Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 at 07:20 PM Hmm, I checked some of my textbooks and they do indeed not include the 节. Maybe I'm wrong. I just can't imagine a teacher saying it without the 节. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted September 8, 2016 at 07:39 PM Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 at 07:39 PM eddyf's suggestion that it is for actual classes/lessons rather than lessons in a book is confirmed by Pleco - 两莭課 - two periods; two classes. For lessons in a book 第一課 stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelina Posted September 8, 2016 at 07:40 PM Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 at 07:40 PM It might be a word association thing. You associate 课 with 节, even though a) it is not the only 量词 used with 课；b) it is better not to use one in 今天我们来学习第一课 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingfunny Posted September 8, 2016 at 08:09 PM Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 at 08:09 PM No. I just can't imagine anyone actually saying “第一课”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyf Posted September 8, 2016 at 10:32 PM Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 at 10:32 PM Yeah, there are definitely tons of examples of "第一课" online. So I can only imagine that people say it all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
