No problem, Alex. Hope see you soon!

OK, Alex! Now I get it. For "dentist", we say "牙医(yáyī)." "牙(yá)" means teeth, and "医(yī)" means doctor. If you want to say "go to dentist to get out a tooth," just simply say "我去拔牙(wǒ qù báyá)." For the sentence "you like Bruce Willis," I heard that you said "你像Bruce Willis，好吗？(Nǐ xiàng Bruce Willi...

Hi Alex! It's OK! So far so good! But one little thing, the better response to the question "你在哪儿学习中文(Nǐ zài nǎr xuéxí Zhōngwén?)" is "我在家和公司学习中文(wǒ zài jiā hé gōngsī xuéxí Zhōngwén)." :) Do you get it now? :)

Hi Alex! 谢谢！(Xièxie!) I hope that you had a good weekend! :) And any time as long as I can help! Let me know if you got any questions! Have a good day!

Nice, Alex. You got it! Then you can practice some more sentences with this kind of structure. Grammar is important to some degree, I guess. We got a series of lessons about Chinese Grammar in the Crazy Grammar section. I hope that you can truly benefit from there. Also just let us know if you got a...

Okay, that's good! I believe that you will do better and better. Keep up the good work! And if you got any questions, just feel free let us know! :)

不客气（bú kèqi）。
You'd better say "谢谢你的回复(xièxie nǐ de huífù)," thanks for your reply. Or "谢谢你的工作（xièxie nǐ de gōngzuò）," thanks for your work. We don't put a adjective after 谢谢.
"我学的每一天!" is not correct. I think your sentence should be "我每天都学(wǒ měitiān dōu xué)," which is "I study everyday." Is th...

Hi Andrew, do you mean that you want to learn something about Jeremy Lin? We have made a lesson about him, the name is "Big Bang Vocab_Can Linsanity continue?" It's in Elementary. Hope you like it!

Hi yaquicuevas1984! Your sentences are all about looking for someone in the past. (Now you have found him/her.)
Where have you been?=你去哪儿了？(Nǐ qù nǎr le?)
I haven't seen you around recently?=最近没有看到你？(Zuìjìn méiyǒu kàn dào nǐ?)
In this two sentences, both 了(le) and 没(méi) are used to describe the...

Hi ifeoluwa.oloruntoba,
Thank you for letting us know. We'll add English equivalents to those Chinese sentences.
Could you tell me which sentence you didn't understand? We'll explain them here.

Hi Alex,
Your "chènshān" is very good. Pay attention to the word "yī." When "yī" is before first tone, second tone, and third tone, it change to fourth tone "yì." When "yī" is before a fourth tone, it change to second tone "yí." So you should say "yí jiàn chènshā" and “yì tiáo niúzǎikù.”

The Chinese character for "bag" is "包." What does your dictionary say?

Nǐ hǎo, Alex! I'm glad that my audios are useful to you. No problem, I'll upload more audios for you. :)
Who is your favorite singer? If you want to ask it in Chinese. It should be "Shéi shì nǐ zuì xǐhuan de gēshǒu?"
And my answer is "Wǒ zuì xǐhuan de gēshǒu shì Adele!" My favorite singer is Adele...

Hi moo84,
I love 西湖 too. But there are too many tourists... 西湖醋鱼（West Lake Fish in Vinegar Gravy）很好吃！
We would not say 我很印象那个地方。You‘d better say " 那个地方给我很深的印象。", which literally translate as “That place gives me a very deep impression.”
^_^

你好 moo84,
谢谢你。
样品 which is translated as sample in this lesson, are a small quantity of products that show the customer what are your products like. So I think the word “demo unit” could also translate to 样品 in Chinese.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions.

These two words both means to get the check and pay for it in a restaurant. And we also use 结帐 in some other situations, for example pay for the bill in a supermarket or pay for the bill when check out a hotel. But 买单 is only used in restaurants.

对，“点” use as a verb means "to order." So if you say "你要点什么？," it means "what do you want to order?" And “点儿” is a short form of "一点儿," which means "a little."

Hi Doug,
Survival Chinese is designed for people who would come to China in a short time. It's a short-term learning course. If you like this way of teaching, I suggest you to take a look at Beginner Chinese Series.
Let me know if you have any other problems.

Hi Haida Takarai,
你好！Thanks for your question. In Chinese, every noun has its own measure words. And we use a measure word after a numeral and before a noun. So when you want to express "a teacher," you could not say "一老师," but "一位老师" or “一个老师.”
Both "位" and “个” are the measure words for person. A...

Hi fabas19
Thanks for letting us know. We will correct it as soon as possible.

Hi Guillaume,
Thanks for letting us know about this.
The Pinyin for 2010 should be "èrlíngyīlíng," and 1998 should be "yījiǔjiǔbā." We will correct it as soon as possible.

You should keep learning, you will make progress.
By the way: you said that you just studying Chinese 3 months, I recommend you watch our other videos, maybe you will make progress quickly. Like "Day Day up" "Crazy Grammar" "Big Bang Vocab" I think these are suitable for you.

There isn't like this kind of course now, because it belongs to the field of medical research. And there are some complex Chinese language or some Chinese culture. If you are interested in this, you can look at this link, http://www.meishij.net/jiankang/jinji/167590.html
But it is a Chin...
