Week 5 we learnt the "not only/ but also this" 除了/还有 pattern, which is useful. We had our first meeting with guo 过indicating an action done, something you have passed through.
Another useful grammar pattern if/then 如果/要是 - 的话/就 there is a choice here of two sets of if/then, I am guessing it a Taiwan/China thing.
Also learnt 从/到from and to, fairly straight forward.
Our dialogues debated where to go for lunch and having settled on beef noodles we went on the bus to the beef noodle shop.
Week 6 introduced some more good grammar and the very useful 开玩笑 
We learnt bi 比 to compare and bi jiao 比较 comparatively. We also had the ever popular zen me yang 怎么样。
We had our beef noodles and discussed the difference between learning in Taiwan, Singapore and China, traditional characters appeared to be the reason the student (Calwan) decided to study in Taiwan.
Arrangements were made for Estella and Calwan to do some sightseeing at Danshui 淡水。
There has been some very useful vocabulary and as usual Estella is drumming into us the importance of correct tones.
So that is the first 6 weeks done and I am pleased to say I did well and got full marks all the way through, but as these are things I have already come across and learnt most of already I would have been disappointed with any thing less.
We now have till the 16/8/15 to complete the final exam, it is pretty much the same style as the quizzes but obviously covers all 6 lessons.
So I am going to spend a day or two doing some revision and then tackle the exam at the end of the week Friday/Saturday so I have a day or so in case
Will let you know how I do.
