summerbreeze75, I recommend you join us at the school of hard knocks (she4hui4 da4xue2). a) Try searching the Newbie lessons under topics such as: 1) name 2) where 3) school 4) study 5) teacher i.e. http://chinesepod.com/lessons/knowing-the-teacher/discussion b) look up key words in the dictionary. c) Try to piece it together by copying some of the phrases and substituting key words. d) Don't worry...failure is an acceptable option at the school of hard knocks....I never forget the mistakes that made people roll on the floor.
