is there a similar sounding expression to chang chang 常常 that means the same thing?

I've been listening to the chinese pod podcasts to keep myself from forgetting what little chinese I know, and I plan to keep doing so along with other work, to keep myself involved until fall when I'll be back in chinese classes again. Anyway, all the time on this I hear them say something like "jingchang" or "qingchang" or something like that (my ear isnt very good yet for words I don't already know) in a way that i'm pretty sure they mean 常常. it seems like a pretty useful expression, and a good thing to know since they never seem to actually say 常常, so what is it that they're actually saying? am I right about what it means?

any help would be appreciated, thanks!

小马词典 has a few synonyms and similar phrases when you look specific words or phrases up. You can go onto 小马词典 and type in 常常, or any other word or phrase that you need to find similar phrases for. :)

For 常常, I see words such as 经常,日常,正常,and 通常.

I hope this helps! :)

谁翻乐府凄凉曲

常常,经常,they are nearly the same,both in meaning and usage

他常常帮助别人,他经常帮助别人

“他通常帮助别人”isn't a complete sentence,we can say"通常,他很愿意帮助别人"

I think the counterpart in english is"in general,in most situations"
