💡 Grammar note

(xiǎng) before a verb means 'want to': 我 想 喝 茶 = 'I want to drink tea'. 喜欢 (xǐhuān) means 'like'. Eat = 吃, drink = 喝 — never mixed. 一 杯 茶 = a cup of tea (杯 is the measure).

Open the full exercises page scoped to just this lesson's vocabulary — all three vocab-based modes (pinyin → meaning, listen → recognise, match) using only the 11 words you just learned.

🎓 Full lecture practice

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.
