他在听歌=他在听着歌

着 is not necessary here,

here 他在听歌

means exactly "He is currently listening music"

because listening music is a shorttime activity

他听歌/音乐

He listens music.

着 is a kind of state

i.e,他在听着歌/他在吃着饭/他在看着书/小猫在盯着小鱼

to describe some simple activities。

我在学中文

has two meanings:

I'm currently studying Chinese

or I study Chinese

(because learning Chinese is a longtime job)

people discern it based on the situation

to make it more clear,you can say

我现在正在学中文\I'm currently studying Chinese.

借给means lend something to somebody

take this for example

he lend him ten yuan

他借他十元 is ok too,but not often used

he lend him ten yuan

他跟他借了十元

he borrow ten yuan from him

I've been looking for a phrase to "urge" slow people in front of me to go faster, usually in a similar context to this. Many times when I am trying to get to a place faster, there are people who like to walk slowly and are in the way. Can I use this "kuài diǎnr" to tell people to move faster? Or would be more more polite to say "kuài diǎnr ba". Also, how do I say "you are moving too slow.."? I already know the jièguāng express to say "excuse me" to push past someone but it is not always the meaning I want to convey.

-----------------------------

见光means you need to go ahead of him

if you want to tell somebody to move faster you can say,

请快一点好吗?

would you be a little faster?

可以用“也”嗎?

除了長城以外,也想去頤和園

---------------------------

in this case,you can't say 也,you should say 还

除了去长城,还想去颐和园

or you can say this way

即想去长城,也想去颐和园

我喜歡的樂隊,除了 "U二"以外,還喜歡 "冷劇目"? (coldplay) 哈哈,翻譯很難。。

除了我以外,都沒有人接電話。

可以用“也”嗎?

除了長城以外,也想去頤和園。

------------------------

除了means except or besides

for example

除了吃苹果,你 还 吃了西瓜

besides apple,you ate melon

when it means except/but

除了衣服,你什么都没买

you bought nothing but the clothes

except clothes,you bought nothing.
