- I'm not to sure how to answer your question of why, so I'll just add it as a comment and correct the sentences to how I would say it (native from the US). You admit to doing/have been doing something (verb). So you can say: I admit to drinking beer everyday after school with Susan and Douglas. I admit to not being the right person you've expected; I'm leaving you. I think the difference may be if you admit a noun. I admit my fault of drinking beer everyday after school with Susan and Douglas. I admit, my concept of you has changed. I'm leaving you.0 votedNovember 1, 20170
What features (lesson plans, dictionary, SRS, etc.) are you looking for in the app? If you're a complete beginner there are apps like Hello Chinese and Chinese Skill which are popular. They will teach you pronunciation with pinyin as well. Make sure you get corrected by a native speaker though :)
If you just want a dictionary, I like Pleco.
If you just want to see stroke order, you can buy a Pleco add-on. I just use MDBG.net or Wikipedia for the stroke order.Most good apps have the option to switch to traditional characters, but default to simplified. I've only seen a couple of apps that are strictly simplified, but they typically state they have plans to support traditional in the future.

The closest thing I found to help you out with this is in this article: https://www.italki.com/article/582/The-Golden-Rules-Of-Chinese-Word-Order
Anyway, perhaps the following modification will help you out: 我明天在北京會去學校。
If I'm wrong, hopefully this will at least give a native speaker a better understanding of your question.
Sorry for the 繁體字. It's too early and I'm too lazy to figure out how to switch to 簡體字...

0 votedOctober 25, 20170- When you "take a step back and look at the big picture" you get a better view of what you're looking at. I believe he's shortening those phrases to mean take everything into consideration and know that it will take a while to accomplish the end goal. To "draw from your state within" I believe means to look inside yourself for positive motivation. I've never heard of "put you on", but an online search makes it seem like he's using it in a different context. My guess is that he wants to say, "No one is going to do it for you. You have to do it yourself." It's a bit hard to determine without more context, but I hope that helps.0 votedOctober 25, 20170
English Learning-20161210
I am currently on my vacation these days.. I want to visit some nice places in South of China where [it/the weather] is warmer than Shanghai.
I love taking pictures with my camera, which is an entry level camera, Nickon D5500.
I just learnt that using the scenery mode while taking(capturing?) views pictures would be more colorful and beautiful.
I also triedtry to focus on the dark part when I am taking the pictures towards to the sun. That will make my photo much lighter.0 votedDecember 10, 20160
