Posted on: Introduce Your Name Like a Native
January 9, 2022 at 1:36 AMI would love some ideas about how to introduce my name. 我姓柯，我叫展博。I have been saying 發展的展 but not sure if that sounds good and some ideas for the others would be appreciated. Also I'm wondering when do people usually introduce themselves with their full name vs just their first name?

January 3, 2022 at 3:59 PMHow do these sound? Feeling a bit unsure where to put the 就.
Also is it ok if I use traditional characters? I am trying to learn with traditional.

你要甚么，你就可以叫我甚么。(You can call me whatever you want.)

December 28, 2021 at 3:50 AMI have a question about the sentence 以前我也有一個，結果才用了幾個月就壞了。from the dialogue, specifically the use of 才. Usually I have heard that 就 is used when something happens earlier that expected and 才 is used when something happens later than expected. However, I have seen a couple sentences like this one where in English we would say "It hadn't even been X time" that use 才 despite the thing being earlier than expected. Is there a better way of thinking about 就 and 才?

January 12, 2022 at 9:02 AMIs there any difference in tone between 操心，擔心，and 緊張? Would love to hear some example scenarios when one would be better than another.
