Is there any difference between 你是哪位and 你是谁？Is one more polite?

你是哪位？ is more polite.

This revision lesson was especially useful. It is nice to see how all words can be applied to older grammar, too! 谢谢你！

I just noticed something: the more traditional method is to give the give the dialogue with translation first, then later without the translation.
The practitioners of this approach probably reason that they are progressing from easy to difficult.
On the other hand, you give it without the translation, then with the translation, then without the translation.
That gives us a chance to test and practice our ability to understand without translation, which is what we will have to be able to do in the field.

Lili HaoTeacher August 6, 2018 at 8:06 pm

Thanks for letting us know that the method works well for you. That was exactly the reason why we made those videos that way.

I just love the review dialogues. Repetition of the same words or phrases previously learned helps me to remember the characters.

Lili HaoTeacher November 14, 2017 at 1:06 am

Thanks Irene! 谢谢你，艾琳(Àilín)！I’m really glad that you find these review dialogues useful! 谢谢你，艾琳！

谢谢您老师，我的中文少女(maiden- is this correct?) 名字是孔爱蓮, bu shi 艾琳.

Lili HaoTeacher November 15, 2017 at 12:06 am

对不起爱莲，谢谢你 for telling me!
在中文里没有”maiden name” 这个 concept, because women don’t change their names after getting married. Perhaps you can say “我的中文名字是孔爱莲”。

Tq for the explanation and also for
replying in both English & what was already taught in Chinese so far. Brilliant, you know your students well, otherwise I won’t be able to read.
