LeiLei is a very smart student. She can grasp the important point of our session, and she can use what learned during class immediately. I am really glad I can help. Have a nice journey in Chinese studying~

Well, Leilei was a little shy at first. But we all know that we will not make fun of a good learner. Been there. I really spent a long time to overcome my embarassment. Sometimes what we fear is just fear itself. Cheer up~ My Email address: [email protected]

    That's all I can say and that's all I can say about it are alright. You would not say 'that's what I can say. Depending on the context you might also say 'that's all I'm going to say (on that subject).

    As Kimchi says above when a baby is born in Korea they are automatically 1 year old, and rather than on their birthdays they go up in age at the beginning of the year. So in theory (correct me if I'm wrong Kimchi) a baby born on say December 30 would be 2 on 1st January yet only be a few days old.

    Like Eliot said although I think it is the other way round, I think she is saying this isn't the charades I normally play (the real thing), it's just the game.

    We don't really use "famous of" it is "famous for" as in "That town is famous for its delicious cheese".

    I imagine you mean the second example Natalya has given. "He'll come around to the idea". This means that (hopefully) someone will accept or get used to something that he originally dislikes or disagrees with. "He's refusing to spend money on that holiday abroad but hopefully he'll come around to the idea". We also use a phrase "warming to an idea". He didn't want me to dye my hair blonde but now he's warming to the idea. Hope this helps!

    Yes it means by the time you were 20 years old, both your parents had died. by the way, it's "My dad died when I was 15 and my mum died when I was 20" not "was dead".

    It's "That makes two of us!". It means "me too". "I don't understand the homework Mr Smith gave us". "That makes two of us!". In this case it means "I don't understand either".

    We say "My mind was running away with itself" or "His imagination is running wild". Briefly it means that you are daydreaming about a lot of things that may or may not happen. For instance, you buy a lottery ticket and you start to think of all the things you can buy with the money; the winner hasn't even been announced! :D A more negative situation would be "My husband didn't come home last night, my imagination was running wild." (She was thinking of all the negative reasons why he might not have come home.)

    First of all, welcome! We tend to use "don't have" in most cases, "have no" is quite old fashioned speak and is usually used as emphasis as in "I have NO idea" or "Give me some money" "But I HAVE no money" (the stress is on have here). Like Zomin says you can't say "I don't have idea" but you can say "I don't have any idea".

    It's reassemble - it means the same as rebuild. (Resemble means to look simililar to). As for the telomere that the Chromosome is lost. (I think should be has lost). This means that it helps rebuild or reassemble the telomeres that the Chromosome has lost (as chromosomes can lose their telomeres which can result in a loss of the Chromosome itself).
