Thanks for that Chanelle. I think I'll order one.

Regarding the Expansion sentence:

那个地方我不太去。 (Nàge dìfang wŏ bútài qù.)  I don't really go to that place.

I was under the impression that 太 and 不太 had to be followed by an adjective. What is happening in this sentence? If the sentence ended with a 的, I would understand it.

I keep forgetting I have Perapera-kun. I'll try to use it more in the future.

This is just how I find Jenny's chat in the Intermediate podcasts - I recognised some of the vocabulary.

Well, if that is a meaning for 发挥, then it certainly would mean 'play to potential'. What dictionary did you find this in, baba?

I see that the question in your link was not answered by CPod.

I also see you have a measure word dictionary. Can you tell me, what is it called, and where can I get one?

Regarding the Expansion Sentence:

在决赛中，他发挥得很好。 (Zài juésài zhōng, tā fāhuī de hĕn hăo.)  During the match today, he played to his potential well.

None of the dictionaries I've looked at describe 发挥 (fāhuī) as anything like 'play to potential'. Can anyone suggest a good meaning for this word, as it relates to this sentence.

Exactly my thought.

I wonder, what else will this dashboard provide us with, other than filtering?

In fact, I'm not really sure what a dashboard is. Can we rest our feet on it?

I was interested to see in the Expansion sentences that 枝 (zhī) was used as the measure word for 花 (huā). Then I looked at Yellowbridge and MDBG, and found that 花 takes 5 other measure words as well:

朵 (duǒ), 束 (shù), 把 (bǎ), 盆 (pén), and 簇 (cù)

When would each of these 6 measure words be used?

I'm not familiar with the reason for an action coming after the action like that. Anyway, no need to reply, my other questions are more important!
