Привет, это Наташа!

Переезд и новоселье

以后(yǐ hòu) and 后来 (hòu lái) both include 后 this character , it means behind, in English they both could be translated as “later”, you can say they are the same in meaning, but not the usages, which make the 2 words very different, basically 后来 can only use in a past tense but 以后 can use in past or future tense, in this episode I will show you 5 example sentence to help you understand better

Have thought about only focusing on what's essential? Does it seem to you as a good strategy to save time and achieve the skills that you need the most?

In this episode, I talk about both the benefits and drawbacks of essentialism as an approach to learning a language.


Rethinking Language Learning

Essentialism 

MARK: Excuse me. Could you tell me where the library is?
NANCY: Yes, it’s that way. You go three blocks to Washington Street, 
then turn right. It’s on the corner, across from the bank.
MARK: Thanks! I’ve only been in town a few days, so I really don’t 
know my way around yet.
NANCY: Oh, I know how you feel. We moved here a year ago, and 
I still don’t know where everything is!



LANGUAGE NOTES
• Could you tell me … is slightly more polite than “Can you tell me …?”
• Could you tell me where the library is? Notice that “library” is stressed here because 
it is the word with the important information. This is an indirect question, so the subject 
(the library) comes before the verb (is). The word order is reversed in a direct question 
(Where is the library?).
• Yes, it’s that way. Notice the stress on “that.” The speaker is pointing in a certain 
direction and wants to emphasize that direction.
• I know how you feel is a way of saying “I understand.” Notice the emphasis on “feel.” 
The speaker wants to show empathy and understanding.
• I still don’t know where everything is! Notice the word order of where “everything 
is.” The subject (everything) comes before the verb (is). This word order is different from 
the direct question (Where is everything?)
