Your train is delayed
Read 晚点 and ask about the next service or changing your booking.
Start with the guided teaching
Learn the number-building rule so you can decode new amounts instead of memorizing every price.
Above ten, put the number of tens before 十, then the remaining units after it. 二十五 = two tens + five. 三十五 = three tens + five. 四 sì and 十 shí sound different; pay close attention.
Read a price, hear a number — complete guided explanation
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.
Today’s sentence machinery
A little and again
一点 softens a quantity or adjective. 一下 makes an action brief. 再 asks for another attempt; 一遍 is a complete repeat.
