Day 30 of 57 · Week 5 · Handle problems
Fix a hotel problem
Report no hot water, a broken air conditioner and noise. Ask to change rooms.
Start with the guided teaching
Recognize reception, elevators and room numbers, then ask where to go.
Find the whole label first. 电梯 is elevator; 楼梯 is stairs. Both contain 梯 but the first character changes the kind. On room signs, 楼 means floor and 室 means room; do not infer a floor just from a room number.

Do the work in five passes
- Listen and pronounce — 25 min · shadow 6 phrases; compare a recording.
- Read and recognize — 25 min · complete the guided teaching, then read today’s words.
- Build and speak — 25 min · build a guided request; then make 10 variations.
- Solve a situation — 25 min · practice both sides, then hide the hints.
- Retrieve and review — 20–80 min · due review, quizzes, and a spoken recap.
Completion records effort; quiz results measure recognition. Neither proves conversational fluency. Use the interactive trainer for review scheduling and saved progress.
