    Hi Laura, 豆 in 頭 is actually more or less an indicator of how 頭 could be read. This is a common characteristic in many Chinese characters. The onyomi of 豆 is read as とう, as seen in the word 豆腐 (とうふ). Likewise, an onyomi for 頭 would be とう, as seen in the word 頭部 (とうぶ), which means "area of/around the head". Another character that uses 豆 to indicate reading but not meaning is 闘 (とう, to fight) in 戦闘 (せんとう, to fight/battle), but this pattern can be seen not only in 豆 but in other radicals as well. 頁, on the other hand, is an evolved version of what was originally 首 written above 人, which I'm sure makes total sense when it comes to the meaning of the character. Hope this helps, Andrew

    Hi Nela, A good translation of "I'm more comfortable in English" would be "英語のほうがより快適です." Hope this helps, Andrew

    Hey Helena, 傻瓜 is a noun describing someone who is dumb/slow/an idiot. However, nowadays, it's not really considered a strong insult to call someone a 傻瓜. You can often find people calling themselves a 傻瓜 whenever he/she makes a mistake. It is also used by close friends to tease each other. 笨, on the other hand, is a verb that refers to someone who is clumsy. It also isn't considered a strong insult, but this phrase isn't used to joke around like 傻瓜. The key to difference between the two is that one is a verb and one is a noun. One refers to someone's intelligence (an idiot) and the other refers to one's ability to execute certain tasks (clumsy). Hope this helped! ~Andrew

    By saying "for context", the author is explicitly telling you beforehand that he/she is about to provide an example that allows readers to better comprehend what is being said through a more simple analogy. Something similar to "For context" would be "To give you a better understanding" or "To put it/that into perspective." It does not mean the same thing as "for example" because you are not providing an example of a concept. Rather, you are presenting the same concept in different terms.

    Mandrew's response (see his comment) is quite good. He summed it up pretty nicely.

    Despite studying for the exam for 5 hours, John still failed the test.

    In spite of studying for the exam for 5 hours, John still failed the test.

    Both "despite" and "in spite of" are used in the same way and hold similar meanings. However, despite is a bit more formal. Both are used more in writing when compared to its usage in oral speech.

    Hope this helps!
