I have to admit: we're taking BIG steps this week in our Chinese Phrase of the Day Challenge! Today is no exception! You'll learn 2 new important vocabulary words, and a new sentence pattern you're going to use *all the time!*

Wei Wei also explains how you know when the word 爱 (ài) means “love" and when it means "like". It's the kind of explanation you won't find in most Mandarin resources, but is SO helpful in real conversations.

If you're having trouble pronouncing any of these words, you might want to spend time practicing with our interactive pinyin chart. It has all the sounds of Mandarin, with each tone, so you can really focus on the sounds that are giving you the most trouble: http://bit.ly/37Yve1q
