    These are very interesting proverbs Furkan, they are very thoughtful. Here are some of my favourite English proverbs:

    <em>Beauty is in the eye of the beholder </em>- What may seem beautiful to one person may not seem to another.

    <em>A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush </em>- Things we already have are more valuable than what we hope to get.

    <em>A bad workman always blames his tools</em> - This is when someone blames the tools when they perform a task poorly rather than blaming themselves.

    What is the difference? Chinese Pinyin.
    Hello! I am learning Chinese and would like to know why these two questions mean the same but are written differently:

    Can you speak English?:

    Nǐ huì shuō yīngwén ma
    Nǐ huì shuō yīngyǔ ma

    I am learning Mandarin and i'm getting slightly confused with the different words used for the same questions! Please can somebody help explain why yingyu and yingwen are different? Can I use any?

    Many thanks in advance!

    Cultural Faux Pas
    I would love to hear what the cultural faux pas are in your country. In the UK, skipping queues is a big no-no and table manners is a must! Has anyone accidentally committed a cultural faux pas in another country? Please share!

    Smile through gritted teeth is an idiom which basically means you are doing something you have accepted to do but don't necessarily agree with it. For example, if you hate going to the gym but know it is good for you, you will grit your teeth and go through with it. That might not be the best explanation, it is hard to explain! I hope this helps :)

    Hello Sasha. Avid means that you have a keen interest or enthusiasm in something. You would say "I am an avid fisherman" or "I am an avid smoker". I hope this helps!
