The approach used to teach grammar on this site is to not confuse you with too many rules. Instead, we would rather fill you up with examples that let you develop the flow of the language naturally. It is much easier (and much more pleasant) to go over grammar rules after the fact. Let them explain what you already know, rather than leaving you frustrated by trying to learn new rules for things you don’t understand.

You may have noticed that the podcast reviews for recent lessons have experimented with new formats such as video and pictures. You are more likely to remember something if you are able to experience it within different contexts (using more of your senses) which is the idea behind these new formats. Similarly, you can try and create your own experiences by using what you’ve learned in the real world. Pick up a fruit learned in today’s lesson and try to describe it while seeing it and feeling it in front of you. If you have the opportunity to practice what you have learned with a Chinese speaker, try and do so to cement in your new knowledge!
