Thank you and 恭喜恭喜！兔年快乐！ you have found a VERY under-taught part of Chinese grammar: subjunctive/conditional mood, which describes irreal conditions, counter-factuals, desires, wishes, hopes. 我希望和祝你在兔年你的美梦都会实现！

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

@@QuizmasterLaw 謝謝你！也祝你新年快樂🐰🥳

[@hoangthanh0210]

Can you share chinese alphabet?

[@QuizmasterLaw]

@@hoangthanh0210 As a Viet you may know? Chinese characters generally represent sounds as whole syllables, not as letters. These syllables are drawn from the kangxi radicals and the dutizi 独体字 . Grace is great and knows better than me but I do think those are two under emphasized aspects of Chinese language teaching.

[@陳庭安-c7u]

Hi Grace! I'm a native Mandarin speaker, and I'm currently self-learning English. These phrases (Should have / Could have / Would have) have been puzzling me for a while, not quite sure when to use them. But your videos indirectly help me understand how these phrases correspond to English usage. Super grateful for that! 😄

I love my dog's cookies too and I don't need regretting sentences for that situation

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

😂😂Okay then

[@CharlesLumia]

The cookie/dog biscuit bit was hilarious lol

[@ActivelyMike]

The lesson is fantastic. But that aside, you could start your own drama series! The dog biscuits scene in particular. You know she put those biscuits up there intentionally so that the other woman would eat them. That was so shady! lol :D
