I live in New Zealand and work as an ESOL teacher, helping refugees and migrants. Some of my students are Chinese, so I would like to learn their language while they are learning mine.

We continued lesson 16. We learned to use one verb twice to express a very casual tone, put the location word before the main verb or verb phrase, etc.I think the yoyoChinese definitely helps him to learn. I noticed that he can say sentences even better. Good for him! Next time, we will talk about weekend plans to review lesson 16 then learn lesson 17.

We reviewed the text of lesson 13. He did very well, he said correct sentences for the most part. Even when he didn't, he knew most words of the sentence, like he knows how to say center as in the word gou4wu4 zhong1xin1, which means shopping center. We did grammar practice. The structure is clear. It is important that he speaks out and can respond correctly to what I said in Chinese. He was so busy talking in class. Well done!

We reviewed how to say be doing something with "zai4...ne/zheng4...ne/zheng4zai4...ne/ne" and "cong2...dao4"with two role play conversations. It has been about a week since last time we learned it. It is understandable that he couldn't remember it all of a sudden. But he said out all the essential expressions in the end. Yay! We did some conversations! We learned the next texts. We will do more practice about the words and expressions and work more on only saying the falling part of the third tone.

    One thing I cannot forget in summer

    That is to use the mosquito killer spray at night. Why is this the case? That's because last night my exposed arms and legs were itchy from so many mosquito bites resulted from because I forgot to use the mosquito killerspray. I couldn't sleep well properly,  as I kept scratching the mosquito bites all night. If only there weren't aren't any mosquitos.

    Waiting

    If you are waiting for something/someone, it has and you have about 1 hour left, what how will you do to spend this time? Will you put pull out a cell phene phone to play games or watch a movie? I don't know what to do, Bcs because it is not too long enough time to watch a movie and not that short I can too long to just wondering wander about for a while. And if it is waiting for a interview, I will be too nervous to do anything. How annoying the waiting is.
