The character 会／會／huì can either mean "can" (a learned ability to do something) or "will" ( a future action or event happening). Knowing which one to use is all about context and the position in a sentence, and with a little bit of listening practice, will become second nature. Check out today's lesson to master the 会 character. You can and will do it!. For an early Qing Wen about this topic, check out You Can and Will Use 会 (huì)!.
