Well, if the movie is what I think it is, the female character does display some temperament at one point....

I got it right! And made a guess! As usual I didn't understand much of the Chinese but putting seatbelt and alien together I knew the answer right away. Ah, Bazza, I know what you mean about never winning anything when it comes down to luck :-)

Even listening carefully to this dialogue I have a hard time hearing the zh-sound, I keep hearing zhen as chen, especially when Jenny is speaking. This is not meant as a critizism, I'm just wondering if it's me, or if the two sounds have a tendency to be more similar in normal speech, or it's a regional variant. I have no trouble hearing the differency when using the pronunciation chart.

谢谢！I have begun to exercise handwritting a bit but what I'm doing right now is copying the expansion sentences by typing them myself, not just doing copy & paste. This way I remember the hanzi much better.

Thanks Rich! After about a month here I'm trying to generate my own sentences whenever I can and it's nice to have someone to help me.

Is this sentence correct: 我弟弟的狗很不乖 I took him for a walk earlier today and he was not being a good boy.... The dog, that is :-)

How are the different words for brothers and sisters used? In the expansion section one sentence goes like this: 我的兄弟叫.... In this way you don't specify whether it's an older or younger brother but I had the impression that it's prefered to talk about either your 哥哥 or 弟弟?

ARGHHHH. I should've guessed then. Being a newbie I didn't really understand anything except for one word so even though all the food clues made me think of this movie I didn't feel sure enough to venture a guess. And the one word I actually understood: pingguo pie! I don't know how, I've never heard the word spoken before, only read it in a grammar book once. But boy, it makes you proud when things like that happens...

Yes, the guys being very wicked right now ;-) And I can't really imagine cat meat being good. Most predators' meat isn't worth eating but I guess it depends on the seasoning....
