Description

In this episode, Melanie and Vicky break down the differences between 让 (ràng), 请 (qǐng), and 叫 (jiào)—key grammar points for making polite requests, giving instructions, and issuing commands in Chinese. You’ll learn when to use each word, with practical examples from school and family settings to help you sound natural and polite in everyday conversations. We’ll also dive into the busy lives of Chinese students, exploring how they balance schoolwork, family duties, and extracurricular activities. Discover how family expectations influence their daily routines and how these dynamics shape the typical student’s day in China. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ How to use 让, 请, and 叫 in everyday conversations ✅ Real-life examples from our dialogue to help you understand context ✅ Insights into Chinese students’ routines and how family shapes their lives ✅ Tips on making your requests sound polite and natural Fun Fact: In China, it’s common for students to attend extra classes, tutoring, and work on family-involved homework even on weekends. This helps explain why phrases like 让我去做作业 (let me do my homework) or 请你帮我复习 (please help me review) are so frequently heard!
