"who" has a relatively bright, short "oo" sound usually. "hǔ" has a croaky "oo" and long duration. They don't sound at all alike to me.
Teacher has difficulty pronouncing “V” in the English language. It shouldn’t be too difficult to correct.
At 0:44 where is the typical guttural "e" sound?
I love the clarity of her pronounciation but she speaks a bit fast so I screwed down the speed to 75%

After a discussion about bad tattoos in another channel, if I ever get a tattoo it will mean something crazy like "liebreizender Gartenstuhl" (something like "loveable lawnchair") ;-)

Very helpful .
In English "We will contact you later " means you did not get the job .
@@rexnemo In Chinese, it’s unsure. Usually HR won’t give you a clear answer right after the interview, we always have to wait for their calls, even you didn’t get the job, some companies still will contact you to let you know.
@@zoeythesharer9050 That is interesting and it seems like with English as with Chinese language that some things are implied and not necessarily said . Languages and their use are so very puzzling . Thank you for your reply .
@@rexnemo Thank you
I do find these educational videos fascinating . Learning from books and sometimes skipping over the explanations of grammar it is so easy to not get the point of the exercises , but when someone takes the time to explain the difference between two words it gives more of an idea of what is happening . Thank you .
Thanks
Good explanation, but the manner of explanation is too fast.

Teacher can I use this sentence as continuation state? 她做着饺子。
What do you exactly wanna express? If you wanna say she’s making dumplings， better say她“在”包饺子（包is exclusively used to express making饺子，包means pack/bag，means put fillings into something），在+do something means doing something. do+着 is more like “while doing something”，so we don’t use it as an independent sentence unless there are more than one verbs. For example, 我看着电视吃饭，（I eat while watching TV) you also can switch the verbs like: 我吃着饭看电视（I watch TV while eating) either way, but you can’t say 我吃着饭， people will be like “and？”they are waiting for you to finish your sentence. If I asked you “what are you doing?” You will say 我“在”吃饭。 If this is what you wanna ask.
@@zoeythesharer9050 yes, teacher but really wonder and I watched many video about verb+着。why I can't say 我吃着饭 as continuation state ，but we can say我拿着笔, because both of them are the same structure verb+着。
@@riyalong7531 Of course you can say 我吃着饭 or 我拿着笔， but they are not independent sentences as I already explained. What kind of exact scenarios do you wanna use these expressions may I ask? When do you need to say 我吃着饭 or 我拿着笔？

I'm confused. You mentioned that 过 cannot follow objects, but I've seen examples of 过 following objects, such as “去世过‘。 Can you clarify?
吃饭了means I ate meal, I also can say 吃’过’饭, they both means experienced something. But we don’t say 吃饭过, 过 doesn’t follow objects. 去世means pass away, 去世了means someone passed away, 了can terminate an action(unnecessary must to terminate),过usually means experienced something and might experience again, no termination. For example, 死 means die, 死了,means died, game over, BUT, 死过means ever died, but sill alive, this is an exaggeration, to say someone experienced big disaster or severe illness, like already died but eventually survive or come back to life, for instance, 他是死过一次的人, he is the man who died once. According to these examples, you can tell firstly, 过doesn’t follow objects, secondly, pass away is a terminated word, we can‘t say someone experiences ‘pass away’ many times.
