Hello, Katherine , Jason cannot understand Chinese words,you need to write some "pinyin" at the same time.Although he said "fang" ,he didnt say "table" in this sentence: "Can I leave my phone here while I go get some water." I think that Jason needs to say :"zai wo qu nong dian shui de shi hou,wo ke yi ba shou ji fang zai zhe ma?(在我去弄点水的时候,我可以把手机放在这吗?)(when I go to get some water,can I put my phone here?)leave is "li kai" in Chinese,but leave is "fang or liu(stay) " in Jason s sentence.
