July 15, 2014 at 12:57 AMHi bababardwan, yes , was referring to the specific grammar page for this lesson. It's a bit too short to help the original poster, I thought. And I also can't seem to be able to find the grammar wiki with links and levels. It only exists on Allset website now, it looks like.

July 10, 2014 at 11:03 PMyea, the grammar page doesn't go into it, you may find a better explanation here http://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Verbing_briefly
it serves the purpose of softening the tone, as in "你收藏" would loosely mean "you must bookmark this", and "你收藏一下吧" would mean "why don't you bookmark it". Both sentences achieve the goal of conveying the imperative, but one has a friendlier register. This is how I make sense of it, but of course I could be very wrong, I am a bear of very little brain, so YMMV.
Posted on: A Foreign Intern
June 12, 2014 at 10:08 PMMaybe I misunderstood you, in US foreign students (F or J visa) are allowed to intern and get paid for 12 or 18 months during their study term. All they need is a simple form from the school with one signature, no need for a work visa.

Posted on: A Fare Affair
March 30, 2014 at 9:47 PMYeah, the ban seems to be in effect, and cabbies are actually adhering to it, impressive job on the side of the Shanghai local gov't. A funny side effect, however, seems to be that now between 6:00 and 6:30 pm I see dozens of cabs pulled over by the side of the road, not picking up any fares at all. Now I can't use the app, or hail, so a loss/loss for me during the rush hour :( I guess might as well stay at the office until 6:30 when the ban expires...

July 31, 2014 at 11:20 AMheh I've noticed more than a few translations recently sound distinctly non-American. Looks like Cpod has lost all native speakers of American English on their staff, or they are too lazy to proof now...
