ID: QW0373 Intermediate
Today we are discussing a question posed by our user, nkchew33, that is, the difference between 训练 and 培训. We have also added 2 other words 锻炼 and 练习. These four words are commonly used in daily life, so in this show we have prepared several sample sentences for each one in order to help everyone to distinguish between them.
