Posted on: Coffee Break Series- How to say no to your boss
January 22, 2020 at 6:51 AMIn the coffee break series, there would be no dialogues because there're too many situations. That's why we only give sentences that you may use. But, still, thanks for your feedback. Hope you enjoy other lessons. Stay tuned.
Posted on: Character mind map - 还 still
January 21, 2020 at 7:22 AMYes, you can say that, but the context would be different. 還 and 還是 in English, they both mean 'still', but they're still slightly different.
還是：
(1) keep doing sth or the status continues for a period of time
e.g.1 我還是喜歡你，但是我不想等你了 I still like you but I don't want to wait for you anymore.
(2) although something happened or have some concerns, people "still" do it.
e.g.2 Joe is always late, but Joy 還是喜歡 Joe.
還：
(1) keep doing sth or the status continues for a period of time
e.g.3 A：我不喜歡你了 B：可是我還喜歡你
e.g.4 我還喜歡你，但我不想等你了 I still like you but I don't want to wait for you anymore.
You can see that even they have the same meaning (keep doing sth), the usage is different (e.g. we can't use 還是 in e.g.3). But it still needs some in-depth research to find out the reason. But, at least, you know the main difference between 還是 and 還.

January 21, 2020 at 6:54 AMHi there,
The meaning is the same: a bit. But the usage of them is quite different. Let's see some sentences:
我有一点儿饿 [Wǒ yǒu yīdiǎn er è] I am a bit hungry.
跑快一点儿 [Pǎo kuài yīdiǎn er.] Run fast.
他跑得有一点儿快 [Tā pǎo dé yǒu yīdiǎn er kuài.] He runs fast.
From these, we can summarize like this:
有一点儿 can be used as an adverb of degree, like very and pretty. So other adverbs of degree can replace 有一点儿: 我很饿 or 他跑得很快. And 一点儿 here, we often use it in imperative sentences which are the ones we use to give orders. For example, 吃多一点儿, and 穿多一点儿. Of course, 一点儿 has other usages, but let's not talk about that until you have problems with them. Hope my explanation is clear enough for you. If there's still any question, feel free to leave them down here.

Is your page white and blue (new website)? Because right now we are still optimizing it, so there might be something missing. If you want to add the lesson's vocabulary, you can go to this page:

Posted on: How to use 都不 & 不全都
January 30, 2020 at 11:06 AM你的句子 [ jùzi ] (sentence) 都很好！Nice try! But let's make them better.
都: (all ) 中国菜“和西餐”我都爱吃。
都不: (none of them ) 不是所有意大利菜我都喜欢。
不全都:(not all of them ) 中文播客的课程我不“是”全都懂
都+adj ：你们俩都“很”好看。
