I'm sure I've asked this before... sorry, I'm a slow learner.

Expansion sentence:

"王老师?"

Nǐ jiùshì wáng lǎoshī ma?

What does the 就 add to this sentence?

Ah, brilliant, thanks! I did search... but I just realised I only searched lesson titles. You get a gold star for being so helpful today :-D

I kind of love the idea that the characters are more like people that words, so you are aquainted with them, rather than just knowing them :)

Ah, that's really interesting, thanks go_manly. I supposed it's too brief for a qing wen! It adds a nice flavour though.

And while I'm asking questions, why do you use 认识 to "know" a character (字), not 知道?

I was interested to see 的话 for "if". What's the difference between 的话 and 如果 in usage?
