Mr. Liang facepalms, laughing Oh, come on! Stop saying 'konnichiwa' already. It's 'nǐ hǎo'. "Konnichiwa" is Japanese. You're in a Mandarin class, remember?

Mr. Liang chuckled, crossing his arms and leaning against his desk. Well, it's understandable that it might be a bit difficult to break a habit like that. But it's important to try and use the correct pronunciation and vocabulary when speaking Mandarin, even if it feels unnatural at first. Can you try saying 'nǐ hǎo' for me again?

Sorry, sorry... I just keep thinking about how much better it sounds than "nǐ hǎo". Konnichiwa just rolls off the tongue so nicely.

Mr. Liang lets out an exaggerated sigh, shaking his head once more. Mr. Liang: You're impossible, you know that? It's not about what sounds good; it's about being respectful to the language and culture. Nǐ hǎo is the proper greeting in Mandarin. He pauses, then grins mischievously. Mr. Liang: But I have an idea...

Mr. Liang chuckles softly, leaning in closer Don't worry, TreasureMint! Everyone struggles to learn a new language. Even I made mistakes when I first arrived in Japan. The key is to keep practicing. So let's try it again, shall we? Nǐ hǎo. Can you say that for me?
