弟弟 Little brother 哥哥 Big brother
弟弟：Big-brother, my electric guitar how-come suddenly (does) not-have (any) sound (anymore)?
哥哥：Bring (it) over (here), I (will) help you check “really quick”. Here (has) not (been) turned-on, you see, “once immediately after” (it is) turned-on(,) “then” (it) has sound.
弟弟：Thanks(,) big-brother.
哥哥：You (in) recent-times (-) play guitar play-(to the degree:)-how-is(-it) (now)?
弟弟：(The) requirements (that my) teacher for me (are) relatively high, (and they) let me every day practice two “ge” (of) hours, but I every day all (do) not play (with the result of) (it) being-enough time.
哥哥：You now (have) just started to learn (the) guitar, practice a-lot is (something that) should (be done).
弟弟：But (no-matter) (in) “however(/any-method)” I play(,) (in) “however(/that-method)” (I) cannot play (it) well, (and) the-more (I) play(,) the-more (I do) not-have confidence.
哥哥：It’s okay. This “jian” thing (of) playing (the) guitar indeed (is) not easy, but you have “however-much(/any-amount)” (of) effort, “then” (you) will have “however- much(/that-amount)” (of) improvement. (Do) not (be) impatient(-and-)anxious, very-slow(ly) practice, (in the) future you (-) (the) level (has) reached, (if you) want to play “whatever(/anything)” “then” (you) can play “whatever(/that-thing)”.
弟弟：(Do you,) (at the) time (when) you (were) learning (the) guitar before(,) every day also played two “ge” (of) hours?
哥哥：I sometimes played (for) three “ge” (of) hours (even)! You (do) not have to play two “ge” (of) hours (for) one time (straight), (you) can play (in the) morning (for) one “ge” (of) hour, (and) play (in the) evening (for) one “ge” (of) hour, or (at) “whatever-time(/any-time)” (that you are) free(,) (you) “then” play (at) “whatever-time(/that-time)”, like-this(,) (you) then would not feel that tired (anymore).
弟弟：Right, how-come I (have) not thought-of this method!
哥哥：And-also(,) (it) is not (that) (you) must should have (a) guitar “then” (you) can practice.
弟弟：Then how (do I) practice?
哥哥：You see, now my hand-inside (does) not “exist” (a) guitar, but I can practice only use (my) hands to practice.
弟弟：If (it is) like-this, (at the) time (when my) hand-inside (does) not “exist” (a) guitar, (I) even-also can go “wherever(/any-place)” (and) “exactly” at “wherever(/that-place)” practice.
哥哥：Right! (It) “exactly” is (like) this! Here(-where) I(-am) additionally “exists” not just-a-few guitar videos, if (you) need (them,) I can send (them) to you (to) watch “really quick”.
弟弟：Then (it is) so great! (The) songs (that) I want to learn (-) “there” “exist” very many!
哥哥：But (do) not (do it like so:) (you) like “whichever(/any-one)” “shou” (of) song “then” immediately learn “whichever(/that-one)” “shou” (of song), start learning from (the) ones (that are) easy, (in the) future “then” learn ones (that are) difficult.
弟弟：Okay! I know (now)!
