Introductions. Why are you learning Chinese and how long have you been studying it?

I recommended Pleco as the best software dictionary, and we discussed some of its useful features.

We played Werewords. I think this worked pretty well because the game is fairly simple and it allows players to practice some common patterns of asking yes/no questions such as:

• 是不是noun？
• 是noun吗？
• 它有没有noun?
• 它有noun吗？
• 可不可以用它verb noun？
• 可以用它verb noun吗？
• 跟noun有关吗？

We also practiced answering yes/no questions by mirroring the question and reformatting it, e.g.

它是一种机器码？

不，它不是一种机器。
