Yuri has a great grasp of the English language and is very clear in her goals. I'm sure she will accomplish her business writing goals in no time.

    I think the difference lie in the class. As a native Chinese, we use "顾客” like "customer" in English, it is more like a low-end consumer in a 2C business. And "客户“ is more high-end people, like "client" in English, it is often used in 2B case. For example, the people come to your restaurant is your "顾客”, but the people come to a consulting firm for business is the "客户“ for the firm.

    "He knows where his bread get buttered"
    Hi, I came across this sentence "he knows where his bread get buttered" from one episode of <em>the House of Cards. </em>It is one sentence said by Francis, the ambitious president.
    But i don't remember the exact context for this sentence. I am curious about what does this sentence exactly mean? And how to use it in daily life. Is there anybody who can explain it even without a context?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Isabel, I am Yuri. I am a native Chinese and just graduated from Cornell University. I have been in US for two years but I feel like my language skill didn't improve that much during my time in the US. So I really want to find language partners via italki to continue my English learning. I have sent you a friend application, please message me if you have interest.

    Btw, good luck on your exam!

    If I remember it correctly, there is a song named <em>Dangerous </em>by MJ<em>.</em> I just like the rhythm, the song is very rhythmic.

    Thanks for all your answers! I realize my original understanding is so wrong. Your answers are much much better than what I found in some translation app.
    Thanks again @Vice Hendricks @Barry @Chris. And don't worry about wrong answer @Behnam.

    ps. I don't know if I can @ people in the comment box. It seems this @ does not work :(

    What is "legacy infrastructure"?
    Hi I come up a question from my reading: is there anyone who can explain what "legacy infrastructure" is in English? I don't know when and how to use this term, and not sure what it is really about. Sometimes, I feel like "legacy" and "legal" refer to the same thing?

    Any instructions will be appreciated. Thx.

    Hey guys, I am so happy to get many responses. I want to let you know that I am not a premium users so I can only send 2 friend request everyday. I have used up my quota today, so I will reach out and send message in the following couple days. Or please add me as your friend, it seems I can accept friend request without limitation.

    BTW...would you suggest to have a premium account on italki? I am not sure whether it worths the money

    free English-Chinese language partners
    Hi, I am new to italki. I am a native Chinese and I would like to find free partners to learn English. Actually, I have been in the US for two years and just graduated with my master degree from Cornell. So I guess my English level is around intermediate and above, but I still want to get improved. So anyone fluent in English and interested in Chinese please contact me. Let's help each other with our interested language :)
    欢迎想学中文的外国友人联系我，虽然我不是专业的老师，但希望可以做个互帮互助的语言伙伴~

    As a Chinese, I think Wechat is very fantastic and easy to use. It is not only a chatting app but also a social media for us. I think it is at least a combination of instagram and whatsapp if you don't use other functions attached to it. For us, this app now is widely used to pay utility and daily fees (so it works like paypal or venom in this sense). So...it is a very comprehensive app.
