hi All

I also have just lept from Elementary to Intermediate, wow thats a shock to the system, Jenny said 2 words in English i think, LOOKS LIKE FUN, i'm gonna enjoy this, I see others above have thought its too tough for them, and i kinda feel the same, but i think if its not hard how am i going to learn and push forwards, I guess its all about (as Ken would say) drilling down and making yourself understand, and keep re-listening to it , when you get it BOY have you got it,

so keep it up OLD L.Es

good luck

Phill :)

Oh boy , My question is going to sound out of place ..... Why is 'zher' used in this lesson and not 'zhe' in the first sentence, or am i being stupid, I love the food too by the way (just trying to fit in) haha thanks all Phill

Hi User11695 It seems to me the reason for the different spellings on this, shei/shui is purely down to how some poeple pronounce it, so then the pinyin had to be altered to compensate, the same i believe with xie (blood) and xue (blood) its just a pronounciational difference.. please someone correct me if i'm wrong, as i was not taught this i just gathered, on my xue xi travels ...

well , as far as i can see it would include being able to 'sample' something like food, as 品-pin3 can mean to taste something, . to sample or to savour , , , I'm only learning myself so i would never claim to be very good at chinese, but i've looked it up as well as i can for you , and of course myslef :) welcome Phill
