Hi everyone. I'm from Connecticut in the USA. I'm a teacher and work with my brother at his driving school conducting the classroom sessions. I've also been an English teacher in public schools and a corporate trainer. I'm traveling to China soon, so I would like to get a little knowledge of spoken Mandarin Chinese. I need to be able to have basic conversations. I need someone with whom I can practice my pronunciation. I'm just a beginner, so I need patient help. Hope to meet a Chinese speaker soon.

    Hi, Annie I’m a retired English teacher with many years of experience in the public schools here in Connecticut, USA. I would be happy to exchange English lessons or practice for help with Mandarin. I am at a beginner’s level even though I have been studying for years. I need help. My goal is to be able to have a conversation in Chinese. I have been to China three times and like your country very much. Bob Jordan

    Like is a comparative. It compares two things which have something in common with each other. A soap bubble is like a balloon made out of water. It's an indirect comparison. As is used more as a direct comparison. I am as smart as my brother.

    "Going" is the important word here. "I go whenever I get the chance. Not only does going ("it" can be replaced by what it refers to) give me new insights, but going to museums also helps me get a better picture of different things." The focus is on going to museums, but of course if you are talking generally about more than one museum, then "they" is the proper plural.

    I'm a former English teacher. My opinion: if you are talking about something you do alone ("I like to read books . . ") use the present tense. If you are talking about something you would be doing with someone else ("I would like to go to the movies . . .") use the future tense since it is something you may do that you are not doing now. Just my opinion. Bob

    I live in Connecticut and have cable television. How can I find the shows you recommend? I also can't read the titles of the shows because they are in characters and I don't know that many characters. Thanks. BOB
