IN THIS LESSON
ID: QW0123 Elementary
This lesson begins with a user question about reflexive verbs. The short answer to the question is that Chinese is not like Spanish and does not have reflexive verbs, but that doesn't stop the Qing Wen trio from making an instructive Chinese lesson out of the topic!
