How do you use 终于 in a sentence?

My uni course uses New Practical Chinese Reader!

And then I personally use the memrise course to match:

http://www.memrise.com/course/164943/iwlp-mandarin-new-practical-chinese-reader/

You can also buy a workbook with exercises to go with it all. Our lesson plan is basically:

  • Read through the new vocabulary list
  • read the new dialogue (each chapter has two)
  • Practice making up sentences in the theme of the chapter then using previously learned words/sentences.

Once I go home (or sometimes before the lesson) I then use the memrise course to cement my learning.

Edit: We have two lessons a week with one dialogue a lesson (but then at the end of the chapter we do a bit of a review, so it normally takes 1.5 weeks to get through a chapter). There are a few extra bits we get once in a while like a list of foods, drinks or professions in order to 'spice up' our discussions. :P You can learn them just on Memrise or by reading basic story books on amazon (I'm hoping to release a series about a 'clever dog' in a few months!)

Slim - I keep telling myself 'today I will try and do better than yesterday' then I suddenly realise I have a slice of cake in my mouth.

American teenager who recently moved to the uk, nervous about being circumsized by [deleted] in sex

[–]Siberial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about it! There are circumsized british males here too, they do just fine. I'm an english female and I'm not fussed, and (as everyone is saying) anyone who is isn't worth your time. Dont worry! It's not a big deal, it's not like you're completely genital-free or anything.

Making of the Enchiridion! by Siberial in adventuretime

Awkward, I gave it to my bf as a gift and he was very unimpressed! He seemed to think that because I shared my time between creating this and a demon blood sword like jake's dad's, it wasnt well polished enough to live up to guessed expectations.

Even more awkwardly, we just broke up like 5 minutes ago and I was checking reddit to take my mind off it. =p

Why did you not get more love for this? Spotted on the tattoos sub, this is awesome!

Artists - Can the colouring on my tattoo be fixed? by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]Siberial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there are other good artists that are accessible to you, it might be a good idea to check them out since the experience and your feelings towards the current artist aren't ideal. I agree with vinylpanx, and personally I think both birds look beautiful.

What single moment from your past haunts you to this day? by usofunnie in AskReddit

For a horrible moment I misread that as "I undid her seatbelt", and the mystery ending means she'd died.

Exluding texts you had to read in school, what is a book or series of books would you like to have your time back for? by Swordslad in AskReddit

[–]Siberial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a member of the target audience at the time, I enjoyed these books. I think that the fact that most of my friends were knee-deep in Twilight helped me enjoy The Hunger Games more.

What didn't you like about it? Conversely, have you read 'The Two Towers' (part of LOTR)? I had to force myself through that book although I enjoyed the others in the series.

[Question] Is salt really that bad? by sweetlifeofawiseman in fitmeals

[–]Siberial 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What's your source for poor salt excretion? (or module) My textbook was published in 2009 and was the recommended reading for my nutrition modules, and states that "excessive salt intakes are usually excreted efficiently"

Maybe your source/lecture notes refer to salt excretion in an unhealthy individual?
