Friend Matt was born in Germany and grew up in France, moved to England at the age of 20 and spent seven years there before moving in China a couple of months ago. He can speak four languages but still is quite dull in Chinese. He once asked one of his friends how one should master this language that is full of complicated characters. The friend suggested him “买些中文杂志吧”. He accepted the advice and set off for the small stands in search of all kinds of Chinese magazines. It is necessary for foreigners to know how to get what they want, especially when the owners of the small stands don’t speak English. The lesson this time will talk about how to buy the magazines, books, newspapers you want on the small stands. After this lesson, you will be able to distinguish 汉语and 中文;the reason why we use 没有 not 不有 and…why don't you find out yourself?
