le is an interesting word
Three meanings is what I have heard
When something has passed
Or a change in contrast
A new situation’s the third
Ba is another strange word
A mild imperative with it is inferred
Zanmen zou ba
Let’s go (but not far)
Is the meaning which is conferred
By John Mackness, retired Professor and student of Lancaster University Confucius Institute
Some comments from recent students
Just the other day I met a Chinese delegation in our building and they looked a little lost. I asked if they were looking for the toilet and they answered in Chinese and I was very pleased because I understood it. So I managed to point them in the right direction (in English).
Now I will have confidence in visiting China.
Very good teacher!
Very well organised and very well taught.
Really enjoyed the lessons, thanks!
Chinese is difficult!
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, thank you for the opportunity.
The course was helpful for the Lancaster Award and encouraged my interest in China. Nice teacher and class of people.
