"I'll meet you anytime you want, in our Sichuanese restaurant."

LOL. Bonus points for Billy Joel reference.

I struggle with the double "了“ ”你学了汉语多久了?“ Why the second "了“?

This lesson is very short but useful. I would have a few questions. 才 vs 只有。 If I was to guess how to say. "We have only been hiking for half an hour." I would have said. "我们只有半个小时爬山。“ Would a native speaker not say this? Second question is the use of "多“ vs “常”。 Similar to my first question. I would have translated. "You should exercise more." 你应该常常运动。 Again is this incorrect?

I want to confirm. One can say "我想要 ”noun". 比如,你可以说 “我想要一个新的手表。“ 你不可以说 ”我想一个新的手表。“ One can always say "想 “ verb". 比如 “想买”, “想吃”, “想去” 等等。

When should one use "yi" vs "yao" for the number one in an address or phone number?
