The ch/q, sh/x, zh/j distinctions are among the most confusing for new learners. The ch/sh/zh sounds should be pronounced with the tongue curled back, almost touching the middle of the roof of your mouth. For the q/x/j sounds are pronounced like ch/sh/zh, but with the tongue placed just behind the top front teeth. All three q/x/j have a sort of tinny/hissing quality to them.

Expansion audio doesn't seem to be working for me. Anyone else having this problem?

…跳了整個晚上的舞。 Can this sentence pattern be used with other verb bigrams? Is there a general rule, or a rare occurrence? Is the following acceptable? 走了整個天的路 謝謝

在這個句子“那”有甚麼用? 去年我從我父母那得到了一個iPod。 可不可以說:…我從我父母得到了…? 謝謝, 白梅克

Can 選秀節目 also be interpreted in other ways? What about "game show" or "beauty contest"?

In the fourth line of the dialog, should 做 be 作 instead? Or are these interchangeable? I'm often confused by this. 謝謝,朋友們。
