In this episode, we dive into four important "ridge" sounds in American English: /tʃ/ (as in cheese), /dʒ/ (as in jeans), /ʃ/ (as in sheep), and /ʒ/ (as in measure). You'll learn how the tongue and vocal cords work together to create these sounds, what makes them similar and different, and how to practice them correctly. Listen for practical tips, minimal pairs, and a fun tongue twister challenge (try saying,"Shiny ships cheerfully chase giant jellyfish in the azure ocean." three times fast!)

For example:
I'd love to but I'm busy, I'm visiting my sister this weekend.

Not Accepting an Invitation

想 (xiǎng) and 要 (yào) are both verbs in Chinese that can be translated as "want" in English, but they are used in different contexts and convey slightly different meanings.
想 (xiǎng) is used to express a desire or inclination, often accompanied by a feeling or emotion. It can be translated as "to think" or "to wish" in English. For example:
我想去旅游。 (Wǒ xiǎng qù lǚyóu.)
I want to go traveling.
他想学游泳。 (Tā xiǎng xué yóuyǒng.)
He wants to learn how to swim.
要 (yào) is used to express a strong desire or intention, often with the idea of taking action to achieve a goal. It can be translated as "to want" or "to need" in English. For example:
我要一杯咖啡。 (Wǒ yào yī bēi kāfēi.)
I want a cup of coffee.
他要买一辆新车。 (Tā yào mǎi yī liàng xīn chē.)
He wants to buy a new car.
Note that in some contexts, 想 (xiǎng) and 要 (yào) can be used interchangeably, especially in spoken Chinese. In this case, the choice of word may depend on the speaker's style or emphasis.
