我爱中国！

我每天很喜欢学习中文，我觉得中国是一个美丽的国家，我爱中国！

Question for instant tutoring teachers Hi Guys, Why advertise that you are available for "instant tutoring" and then let the 10 minutes pass by or cancel session? Italki has provided a great service and this sort of behaviour is ruining it. regards Luke

Instant Tutoring

Hi,

 

Is anyone else finding teachers not responding to instant tutoring requests?

 

This feature is great and one reason I have begun to do more lessons. But I'm left wondering why teachers show as "available" but do not reply?

比如说 vs 譬如说

What is the difference between?

 

比如说

Bǐrú shuō

 

&

 

譬如说

pìrú shuō

 

I often use "比如说" and have never used "譬如说" but I watched an interview where this word was being used quite frequently.

大家好! 大家好， 我的中文名字是苏力，我今年开始四月学习汉语，我二零一一年的时候也学习汉语，那个时候我完成三个月的学习。 从今天我要开始练习我的中文写，我不担心用手写因为我可以用电脑，我觉以后我的中文进步可能学习手写。 如果你要帮助我请对我的中文。 我真的需要进步很快。 谢谢大家。 苏力 ：－） Dàjiā hǎo, Wǒ de zhōngwén míngzì shì sū lì, wǒ jīnnián kāishǐ sì yuè xuéxí hànyǔ, wǒ èr líng yīyī nián de shíhou yě xuéxí hànyǔ, nàgè shíhou wǒ wánchéng sān gè yuè de xuéxí.

对我来说学习中文很重要的 - For me it is important to learn Chinese.

Does this make sense?

Anyone else having trouble booking lesson?

I have tried on various computers to book a lesson on italki and I have noticed the "schedule" button does not work so I cannot book a time?

 

Anyone else having the same problem?

B1 Pre-intermediate

What does it mean to be B1 Pre-intermediate in Chinese. I feel I have moved past the beginner level so I have changed my level.

 

1.I know over 400 chinese characters.

2.I can write in hanzi online using pinyin input.

3.I can have basic conversations but still mess up tones but have a fairly good sentence structure when I know what I'm saying(Learnt it previously)

4.My vocabulary would be over 1000 words although I'd have trouble pronouncing them correctly.

5.I can watch chinese TV and understand half of what they are saying whilst following along with the hanzi.

 

What level could I safely consider myself?
