    Google Translate Hi there any English teachers or Chinese teachers!!!. I am an English teacher and I have a Chinese partner. Her English level is Intermediate B1 and I am a clumsy beginner in Chinese so we pretty much always converse in English. We get along great when things are great but communication can be a real problem when things go wrong between us. Some advice please. How good and true and reliable is Google Translate for turning English into Chinese (simplified) when talking about sensitive subjects, relationships, communication issues etc.? Thank you for any suggestions about Google Translate or a better alternative

    "Vegetables" - how many syllables ? This is for all you English teachers out there. When you teach a student this word, how many syllables do you count? I teach three "vege-ta-bles." Comments please .

    Okay so it's complicated - "wait a minute" in the UK does not mean wait for one minute; it means wait for a short time. If you want somebody to wait for one minute exactly, you should say something like "wait a minute, literally one minute." But as with anything in English, context is everything. For example "wait a minute" can also be used in the sense of "just give me a chance to think about that." This needs to be illustrated further Andy: You still owe me ten dollars. You never paid me back. Phil: Wait a minute, I bought you that drink yesterday, doesn't that mean anything? Andy: Oh yeah, sure

    It's very poor grammar so we could insert some words to make sense of it e.g. "I honestly don't get (why) people (are like that)" or change the 'get' to 'understand' which would give us "I honestly don't understand people." Some examples might help "She threw her rubbish on the floor although there was a bin nearby. I honestly don't get people" You may also say here "I don't get why she did that" or Why do people do that?"

    If I am talking about the present then I  would say 'I am in class' or 'I am in a class.' If I am talking about the past or the future I might use 'in class' although I might also say 'at a class' if I was describing what I did (past) or what I plan on doing (future). e.g. 'I can't play tennis on Tuesday afternoon because I will be at a class.' There are many ways to use prepositions in English which is one of the things that makes learning them so difficult!
