So the difference between these two phrases differs from that of “想” and “想...

No matter where you are, when you have to go a restroom, you REALLY have to go. You know what that means. Learning to ask for directions to a public restroom is a critical skill surviving in China.

Like "Wǒ" is a personal pronoun, so I can say "Wǒ nánpéngyou shì lǎoshī.(My boyfriend is a teacher.)" If you say"Becky's," you can not omit "de," because "Becky" is not ...

Hello, everybody, I am Becky. Some of our students recently suggested that we slow down the tempo of our videos and that the instructor should also speak slower when speaking Chinese.
I wonder if you could share your thoughts on this issue so that we could adjust our teaching approach accordingl...

Yes, you are right. The primary pronunciation of one is "yī". But when the word after one is fourth tone, "yī " will change into"yí," So "yíxià" is correct.
