Yea. No.

I do understand where you're coming from. But you have to appreciate that not everyone is you. Sometimes, bashing your head against a brick wall ends up with smushed brains, not knocking down the wall.

I'd really like to see study tips on how to cross the gap from elementary to intermediate, intermediate to upper-intermediate etc. That's been the hardest part of using the site for me - the list of "easier" intermediates that ZLJ posted really helped, but any more tips would be much appreciated.

I disagree 100% with you. You are wrong in every pretty much every way.

Nothing personal, just constructive criticism.

Hehe, I know that. The question mark was part of the quote. Sorry, wasn't clear.

So the dialogue has 哪种好喝？ Can you say 怎样好喝？

Hi John - not really I'm afraid! That's kind of what zhenlijiang said. I'm still not clear on the use of 怎样

Posted on: Tea Tasting

Right. so 哪 is which... (as in which type), and 怎样 is what kind? I'm still not sure of the distinction and how to use 怎样 properly.

Studying the exercises seems to agree with you - the rearrange the dialogue exercise pretty much relies on you memorising the dialogues. I've remembered a few useful things by remembering the dialogue they came from.

Bad news for half the population who are genetically incapable of manning up, I guess.
