When i go to Hong Kong soon, i'll be travelling with someone who has a bad allergy to food additive MSG. Is it common in Hong Kong food and if so how would i say in the local dialect not to add it to our food?

drnpsharma, welcome!

I'd recommend starting with a few basic lessons on things like greetings and then other newbie lessons you are interested in. I highly recommend doing the newbie series of lessons on tones to help you speak correctly from the start.

 here is some medical themed lessons

Great lesson!

You guys mentioned using lame excuses. Any chance of a lesson on such excuses (the dog ate my homework/food/ect...kind of excuses) Could be very useful, particually when i've forgotten my chinese homework
