💡 Grammar note
在 means 'to be at'. Question form: 你 在 哪儿? = 'Where are you?'. 哪 takes a measure word (哪 个), 哪儿 stands alone for 'where'. 这/那 mean this/that, 这儿/那儿 mean here/there.

The full workout, broken into stages. We split this lesson's vocabulary into small sub-groups and run a short drill for each — easier to absorb than 20 mixed questions in a row. Then the final stage mixes every type: pinyin → meaning, character → meaning, listening, English → character, fill the blank, English → 中 builder, word order, and tone identification. Includes a 🎤 pronunciation challenge when your mic + Whisper are available.
