- My suggestion about learning Chinese words
I'd like to offer you some good methods for remembering Chinese words
1. A character sometimes has the same meaning to its related words
for example, 兔（tu, rabbit) is equlvalent to "兔子” 海(hai, sea) is equlvalent to "大海“
remember these wirds together when you look up your dictionary next time.
2. In most of the time, a character is at least related to its relative words.
e.g. we have a 兔 now, we can predicte that “兔腿（tu tui, rabbit's leg) 兔年（year of rabbit) 玉兔（this is a character of chinese myth)
3. It's a good method to relate a character with the other one in a word.
e.g. 海域 can be divided into 海（sea) and 域 (region) so we know 海域 means region of sea
in 海岸 , we have 海（sea) and 岸（shore) so we know 海岸 means "seashore"
if you find two characters in a word have the same meaning, so that "the same meaning" is just the word's meaning
e.g. in 哭泣 we have 哭( cry) and 泣（ also means cry) so we know that 哭泣 just means cry
You can use these methods for dealing a lot of words. But it's might not useful for some words with speical meaning
May 31, 201510 旅行之前
旅行之前或是飞机快要起飞的时候，我总是很紧张。我后天就要飞到美国，所以这次的紧张并不意外。我以前写了一遍标题叫 “飞行恐惧症”的文章，所以你们可以猜得到我现在的状态：除了紧张，还是紧张（好用法），而且我已经连续两天梦到飞机坠毁了。我的飞行恐怖症真的很奇怪，我生活已经过了三分之二 活了几十年，飞了无数次都没出现过那样的症状。然而坐飞机不爽过一次之后，一切都改变了，我开始做噩梦。在我的梦中，我乘坐的飞机开始坠落，就在坠毁之前，我醒过来了。醒来的时候，我浑身都出了汗，从头到脚一直发抖。我真想治疗这个恐惧症，但是我不知道这种病治疗的过程 是怎么治的，能不能治好。因为我受不了这种病了，所以回美国的时候，我决定去看医生，我可不能一辈子都这样。我希望医生能开抗焦虑药给我，让我能够过得舒服一点，可以边坐飞机，边睡觉。我现在坐飞机时那药让我一直感觉像要心脏病发作一样，这样的感受使我不爽。最好的结果是我能够自己克服这个病，而不必吃药，自然地恢复。现在甚至药，我也没办法吃。这样一来，我现在真的是一个神经病！

1.I had to sleep with a girl yesterday，which was really awkward.
you did a nice job in the first first part of your sentence. In your next half of sentence, you should substitute "这件事“ with "这个” because you want to express your feeling at this moment. You can use "那件事“ when you had expressed your feeling before. And ”这个“ usually refers to a object, it's not very usual for "这个” refer to a thing." You can use both "这件事“or ”这“ refers to this thing.
我昨天得跟一个女生睡在一起,这可真尴尬啊
2. It's impossible for me to feel embarrassed.
in fact, "无法” means " not able to" You need to use"不可能“ .
我不可能觉得尴尬
3.His embarrassing mistake got him fired
In fact, 让 means "let" You need to use"使” .And aviod more than one“的” before a noun. For this situation we need only one "的“ before the noun.(For brevity)
他尴尬的错误使他被开除了
0 votedMay 31, 20150As a native speaker and a good writer in Chinese, I use "尴尬” very often.
尴尬 is a adjective in Chinese. you can describe both a thing and the feeling of person(s)
when we describe a thing, we tend to use in front of "a thing"
e.g. 尴尬的故事 the embrassing story
you may use it after a thing but you shoud use appropriate verb in front of ”尴尬“to make this sentence complete (subject, verb , adjective)
e.g. 故事变得尴尬（the story becomes embrassing) 这个故事令人尴尬 （this story make people feel embrassed)
When we describe people's feelings, we tend to use it after "a person" , and we must be sure there is subject, verb and the adjective.
他感到很尴尬 （he feels embrassed)
0 votedMay 31, 20150Hello, I hope I can slove your question as a native speaker and a specilist in Chinese writing.
For "to shame"， there are rarely action verbs to use in Chinese. So we may say:
1." 令 somebody 感到惭愧/羞愧“ This very formal e.g. 他的话令我感到惭愧
2. 让 sb 感到惭愧/羞愧
3.使 sb 感到惭愧/羞愧
notice ”羞愧“has stronger emotion than "惭愧”（in other word, more ashamed)
If you express your excitment, you may omit "感到“ e.g. 他说的话真让我惭愧！
You can say we use caustic verbs like "令， 使，让“ to express this meaning.
