Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 听讲 (tīngjiǎng) is composed of two characters: 听 (tīng) and 讲 (jiǎng). The character 听 means "to listen" or "to hear", and it is often used in the context of listening to a lecture or a speech. The character 讲 means "to speak" or "to lecture", and it is often used in the context of giving a presentation or a talk. When these two characters are combined, the resulting word 听讲 means "to listen to a lecture" or "to attend a class". This word is commonly used in educational settings, such as schools and universities, to refer to the act of attending a class and listening to the teacher's lecture.
