Mapreader here:

Only irregularly listening in at the moment but am doing an immersion course in Beijing in December/ January so hopefully that will give me more confidence.

Always enjoy the lessons and comments.

Do want to comment on 3 of the sentences of this lesson.  The 3 starting with

"I thought Mum(! Aussie) was going to criticize etc and the next 2 in my opinion translate into more normally used English using "on the contrary" or "instead" ie fan3 ér.  Please explain.
