Description:

She looked distinct tonight, or you can say, she was gorgeous. When she stepped down along the stairs in that white, gauzy dress, everyone stopped drinking, their conversations or whatever they were doing and turned around to the glamorous lady that came forward. No one knew exactly who she was walking to and who was going to be selected as the lucky gentleman. The lady didn’t glance around. She was so calm and so indifferent to everyone else. She only forged ahead straight to one corner, where a neatly dressed man was pouring a cup of Whiskey into a glass and handed it directly to her. As she approached closer, he took out another hand from behind and wrapped her attractive waist and scooped her into his arms. That was a ball hosted by a rich family and the man was just about to introduce his girlfriend to his family members. Please listen to this dialogue to find out how to introduce that special one into your family.

In this lesson we discuss the use of the Retroflex tone - 儿. For example: 跟我来这边一下儿. Before 一下儿, the words may look familiar - follow me here. Actually, 一下儿 is a slang for ‘a little bit’. It always comes after the verbs. In a word, it usually sits at the end of a sentence.

我们一起过去行吗? Here we have another grammar point. In most cases, we separate 行吗 with a common, and the closest translation to English is: ”right?, ok?”. For example: 我们到时候见面，行吗? we will meet then, ok? So, to find out more about this grammar, please listen to the lesson, 行吗?
