    Hello Michele. You can’t use 和 that way, to connect sentences. That is a noun connector, first and foremost. Cross out the 和 and just use a comma instead. Don’t you mean 果汁, juice, as in drinking juice? Study hard! You can do it!

    As explained below, 2 is off. The 1st sentence sounds really strange. Didn’t you mean to use 曾经看过?If they didn’t see the game in the first clause, how had they already seen it in the second clause? Maybe 曾经 is what you’re looking for. They didn’t watch the game because they had already seen it before (could have even been 10 years ago, 曾经 is more distant.

    The meaning is the same. With the addition of “I think”, you’re just changing the tone, softening it and seeming a bit more friendly. Like what you do with ...方がいい, a friendly advice. I hope this helps. Keep at it, you can do it!

    I’d say your best bet is to either get a dialect coach or if you’re looking to save money at the expense of a larger time investment, try some techniques yourself. One of those is shadowing: pick a dialect you like, select s bunch of content with it, watch a segment and try to emulate it right after. Really try to replicate a person’s accent. You can try with stronger/clearer/funnier ones and as you progress, go for the realer/more nuanced ones. Good luck with your studies and practice. If you need help, feel free to ask. You can do it!

    Differences

    1. What is the difference between 其他的 and 别的? Pretty similar. But 其他 is more like else/the rest/others and is flexible preceding nouns and 什么 often, so it is quite practical. 别的 will precede a noun or will be the ending of a sentence and the 的 won’t be omitted, where 其他 is quite common without the 的。

    2. What is the difference between 带 and 拿? They can be used interchangeably if it is to take/bring. But 拿 is more like holding, with your hands, as you can see the hand radical,手. 我拿筷子 is different from 我带筷子, the first is more like I hold chopsticks and the second like I bring chopsticks. I hope this helps make some sense out of it.

    3. What is the difference between 不一样的 and 不同的? Same meaning, different words.

    4. What is the difference between 我明白了 and 我懂了? Same meaning, different words. Maybe the latter sounds a bit more polite to some, but they have the same meaning. 懂 is quite useful for action verbs like to read or to hear, calling for a set of three like 听得懂 or 看不懂.

    If there's a very subtle difference, please give an example where this difference is apparent.

    After giving birth to my son in late June, I officially become a mum. I want to write it down and share my experience with you guys.
    It was a tough time in the delivery room because I had an induction. He was small for gestational age by 3 weeks, so it was better to let him out a bit earlier.
    I was discharged after staying 2 nights in the ward, midwives and doctors were nice and I was well cared.
    Motherhood isn't easy but it's good to have my parents to support me during this special moment, which I really appreciate. At first, I was suffering from breastfeeding because of the pain, then I decided to bottle-feed, which is saving my life. Despite having to wash and sterilize all the bottles and accessories, I'm actually quite happy with bottle-feeding.
    In terms of babysitting, there is only one thing I can't bear, which is I can not have a whole night sleep. My son wakes up at least 2 times per night and sometimes even worse. But things seem to get better when he gets to 2 months old.
    I love my son, even it's not easy. But it's a must for every mum. Good luck to me.
