The Chinese word 预习 means “to preview” or “to study in advance”. It is commonly used in the context of education, particularly when referring to the act of reviewing materials before a lesson or class. For example, a teacher may ask their students to 预习 a chapter in a textbook before the next class so that they can be better prepared to participate in discussions and activities.
