Last Weeks Homework

Synopsis from Chinese Class_2026-03-12.md: This session introduced "bù yīdìng" (不一定) for expressing uncertainty and the distinction between "míngbái" (surface understanding) and "lǐjiě" (理解 - deep understanding). New vocabulary included movies (电影), comedy skits (小品), and being funny (逗). We also practiced expressing reasonable expectations (合理期待) and explaining things clearly (解释).

Synopsis from Chinese Class_2026-03-05.md: Focused on the verb complement "bùliǎo" (不了) for "cannot" and the pattern "chūxiàn wèntí shí, nánmiǎn huì gǎndào gūdān wúzhù" for expressing loneliness/helplessness when problems arise. Other topics included quitting pills (停掉), mental health (心理健康), and divorce (离婚).
