Also if I want to say "make a U-turn" should I say:

Xiàng diào tóu?

Ní hǎo, can someone please verify turn right and left?

turn right: xiàng yòu zhuǎn

turn left: xiàng zuǒ zhuǎn

(does zuǒ become 2nd tone here?)

Also, alwingate's questions. I think it should be

yīzhǐ yǔ (continuously raining)

Also zài kàn is an -ing word I think. Is that right?

Xiè xie

Hi Brendan you are a lucky man! That *long* street in the downtown area is awesome, right? I miss Xi'An!

Hi, for the word "try" (experiment, test) what is the difference between

shì shi

and

shì

In the .pdf file, the dialog section (and the audio) says "shì shi" but the Vocabulary section and my dictionary say "shì". Which one is more commonly used by native speakers? Thank you.
