November challenge 十一月的挑战 : Day 23 第二十三天

Welcome to the November monthly challenge! This month we’re focusing on speaking/writing in Mandarin everyday. Each day I will ask you a question (spoken + written), you need to use my tips to produce an answer to the question (spoken / written).

When you’ve prepared your answer, submit it below + I will give you feedback go work on (e.g. grammar, tones, word choice etc.)

❓Question for today: 你今天想吃中国菜吗？(You today want to eat Chinese food? - Do you want to eat Chinese food today?)

⭐️ Tips: Change ‘you’ to ‘I’, then say ‘want / don’t want’, then repeat ‘Chinese food’. Remove ‘ma’ at the end because it’s no longer a question.

💪 Extra challenge: Say why! E.g. because it’s tasty / because Chinese food is your favourite. Or, say what food you would prefer to eat e.g. 我今天更想吃。。。

🧠 Remember - use Pleco / YellowBridge.com to search for words you don’t know but would like to use!

想 (want/would like) is one of our 7 power verbs! If you want to learn how to get the most out of this verb and be able to make hundreds of useful sentences, find the cheat sheet in the FREE essentials course, then learn more about the full course by clicking on the Mandarin Unlocked course in the classroom.
