Hello, I am a native English speaker from Australia, currently studying Mandarin in China. I am interested in chatting with some native Mandarin speakers who are also studying English. My English is pretty good so I'm sure I can be of help! (and hopefully, vice versa)

    to be devoted to 和 concentrate on 差不多一样，both mean to give much importance to something, 不过。。 "be devoted to" is used when there is a longer period of time - such as a lifetime. It has an implication of lasting for a long time. 比如说： > i am devoted to my girlfriend = in my life my girlfriend is very important to me > i am devoted to science = in my life science is very important to me "concentrate on" is used more for current actions. There is an implication the importance will finish once the current action is finished. 比如说: > in class, i concentrate on the teacher = i pay attention to the teacher in class > when i massage i concentrate on the neck = when i give a massage i spend more time on the neck i guess in chinese it would be the difference between...专注　和　专心 my chinese is not very good though so could be wrong

    "How Long?" Short answer: Never. Long answer: It depends on a million factors: how serious the relationship was, if you have a vulnerable personality, if you meet someone new and fall in love, etc. etc. If you really need an approximate solid figure I would say...double the length of relationship time would be a reasonable estimate. "How?" Stay busy, occupy your mind with other things, for example: work, study, alcohol lol
