Last Weeks Homework
Synopsis for Chinese Class_2026-01-08.md: Key topics from this class included vocabulary related to the cost of living ('养活自己', '成本'), food ('生的', '熟的'), and gaming ('存档', '剧情'). A grammar point on using '一会' (yī huǐ'er) to describe doing multiple things was covered. The main point was a continued conversation about the economy, discussing how to cope with economic difficulties ('省着点儿花呗') and the importance of a positive mindset, referencing a biblical quote about not worrying about tomorrow.

Supplementary Notes
我都二十四岁了 Wǒ doū èrshísì suìle I'm already 24 years old. - You can use doū to mean "already" in an unpleasant or an anxious way. A very negative thing. As in I'm already 24 years old, I can't believe it, I'm ancient. It doesn't tie to the actual meaning of “already", it focuses on the negative aspect of it. - Structure: - Wǒ doū {age} suìle -> I'm already {age} years old
我才三十岁 Wǒ cái sānshí suì I'm only 30 years old - The opposite of before. Your ONLY 30 years old, life has just started and you have plenty of time, and your positive about it. - Notice no le. I don't know why. Neither does he.
