Posted on: Small Talk Like a Native
July 25, 2015 at 9:18 PMI've asked this question so many times to my language partners. They normally say I should use the English word "Hi". But that just makes it confusing because if i use Hi then the other person thinks i'm going to use English.
I'm always meeting new Chinese people on-line to practice my chinese and I can't help using 'ni hao', I recently started saying 'ni zenme yang' but it now seems from this video this is a bit of a strange opening. I'll using 'NAME + hao' the next time.

May 24, 2015 at 9:53 PMI've heard the expression jiāo gěi wǒ. Which sort of means leave it to me. I'm assuming this is the same jiāo as described on this video
Posted on: Saying You're Angry: 生气
April 26, 2015 at 6:41 PMI was just chatting with my language partner and he said that - wǒ zài shēng nǐ de qì is a sentence really only used between couples. You wouldn't really use it if you wanted to say you make me angry to someone in public
Posted on: Secrets to Learning Chinese
September 15, 2014 at 9:51 PMThis is the first time i've tried listening to an upper intermediate lesson, and I love it. I now think i've stayed on the intermediate lessons for too long. These lessons are great as they use almost no English. I remember about 3 years ago listening to the novice lessons.
I have a question. Jenny described yù mèn as possibly meaning frustrated as well as depressed. In English I see these meaning to be very different. Recently I've asked a few chinese natives how to say frustrated as in "I feel frustrated with my lack of progress" for example. Is there a better word to mean frustrated in this way?

May 1, 2014 at 9:55 PMI thought it was a normal intermediate lesson. Jenny spoke lots of chinese and the ba character was used.
