For today's photo gallery, click here. In addition to learning lots more Chinese today we played Chinese whispers out in the sun, and sampled Chinese tea.
What did you think of today's lesson? I found it quite hard because of the heat and the fact that there seems to be so much more to remember. I don't know about anyone else, but I find lots of the words similar to each other which makes things difficult for me. How did you all feel about it?
Ha ha ha ha ha!! The photo's are brilliant! Lesley - loving that pic of you smeeling the tea with a blocked nose! mdr!! Chinese whispers - how bad were we - well me anyways! mdr!

Just an explanation of Lin Fan's comment:
你们好！今天怎么样？太难了or 太简单了
nǐ men hǎo! jīn tiān zěn me yàng? tài nán le (or) tài jiǎn dān le?
I think you should understand much of this, but you may need to refer to your notes.
Hello everyone! How was it for you today? (zěn me yàng is "how's it going, but remember the whole thing about no tenses? so "how's it going" can now mean "how was it going" or "how did it go"?) And you should probably recognise the phrases "too easy" and "too hard". Again, there's no real indication as to whether the phrases are in the present or past, so they could mean "was it too difficult", or "is it too difficult". Hope this helps!
