01:31.000 --> 01:34.500
你朋友现在在哪里工作?

Is that the ambassador hotel?

02:04.500 --> 02:08.000
是的,那是国宾大饭店。

02:08.000 --> 02:11.500
Yes, that's the ambassador hotel.

02:13.000 --> 02:15.500
你住在那里吗?

02:17.000 --> 02:19.500
Are you staying there?

02:22.000 --> 02:25.500
不,我住在这里。

02:28.000 --> 02:30.500
No, I'm staying here.

02:31.000 --> 02:32.500
Number five.

02:33.000 --> 02:35.500
你在哪里工作?

02:35.500 --> 02:38.000

02:47.500 --> 02:51.000

02:51.500 --> 02:54.000
If you had any problems with these sentences,

02:54.500 --> 02:56.000
rewind the tape and work on them some more.

02:56.500 --> 02:58.000
If you understood them all,

02:58.500 --> 03:01.000
you should begin working on how to ask these questions and how to answer them.

03:01.500 --> 03:04.000
Listen to this exchange.

03:04.000 --> 03:05.500
你住在哪里?

03:06.000 --> 03:08.500
我住在国宾大饭店。

03:10.000 --> 03:11.500
If you were in Taiwan,

03:12.000 --> 03:13.500
you might be staying at the ambassador hotel.

03:14.000 --> 03:15.500
As you remember,

03:16.000 --> 03:18.500
大饭店translates literally as great hotel

03:19.000 --> 03:20.500
and is used in many hotel names.

03:21.000 --> 03:23.500
Try saying hotel after the speaker.

03:24.000 --> 03:25.500
大饭店。

03:28.500 --> 03:29.500
大饭店。

03:29.500 --> 03:31.000
大饭店。

03:33.000 --> 03:34.000
大饭店。

03:37.000 --> 03:39.000
Now repeat the word for ambassador,

03:39.500 --> 03:41.000
which means official visitor.

03:41.500 --> 03:43.000
The tones are rising high.

03:44.000 --> 03:45.000
国宾。

03:47.000 --> 03:49.000
国宾。

03:52.000 --> 03:53.000
国宾。

03:55.000 --> 03:57.000
Now repeat ambassador hotel.

03:57.000 --> 03:59.500
国宾大饭店。

04:03.000 --> 04:04.500
国宾大饭店。

04:08.000 --> 04:10.500
Your friend in Taipei asks where you're staying.

04:11.000 --> 04:13.000
Tell him you're at the ambassador hotel.

04:14.000 --> 04:15.500
你住在哪里?

04:20.000 --> 04:22.500
我住在国宾大饭店。

04:25.000 --> 04:26.000
Again,

04:26.000 --> 04:27.500
你住在哪里?

04:27.500 --> 04:56.000
我住在国宾大饭店。

04:56.000 --> 04:57.500
哪里?

04:59.500 --> 05:00.500
哪里?

05:02.500 --> 05:03.500
哪里?

05:03.500 --> 05:26.000
哪里?

05:27.500 --> 05:28.500
哪里?

05:28.500 --> 05:31.500
哪里?

05:33.500 --> 05:34.500
哪里?

05:36.500 --> 05:37.500
How do you say,

05:38.000 --> 05:39.000
where are you staying?

05:42.500 --> 05:44.000
你住在哪里?

05:46.500 --> 05:48.000
As you could predict,

05:48.500 --> 05:51.000
there are words in this pattern for there and here also.

05:51.500 --> 05:52.500
Repeat here.

05:53.500 --> 05:54.500
这里。

05:54.500 --> 05:56.000
这里。

05:58.000 --> 05:59.000
这里。

06:01.000 --> 06:02.000
Repeat,

06:03.000 --> 06:04.000
I'm staying here.

06:05.000 --> 06:06.000
我住在这里。

06:10.000 --> 06:11.000
我住在这里。

06:14.000 --> 06:15.000
Listen to this exchange,

06:15.500 --> 06:17.000
which takes place in the hotel lobby.

06:18.000 --> 06:19.000
你住在哪里?

06:20.000 --> 06:21.000
我住在这里。

06:22.000 --> 06:23.000
我住在这里。

06:23.000 --> 06:24.000
我住在这里。

06:25.000 --> 06:26.000
Now you try it.

06:26.500 --> 06:28.000
You're standing in the lobby of the ambassador hotel.

06:29.000 --> 06:30.000
Answer the following question.

06:31.000 --> 06:32.000
你住在哪里?

06:35.000 --> 06:36.000
我住在这里。

06:38.000 --> 06:39.000
Again,

06:39.500 --> 06:40.500
你住在哪里?

06:43.000 --> 06:44.000
我住在这里。

06:46.000 --> 06:48.000
The conversation could continue like this.

06:49.000 --> 06:50.000
他呢?

06:50.000 --> 06:52.000
他住在哪里?

06:53.000 --> 06:55.000
Repeat the word for there.

06:56.000 --> 06:57.000
哪里?

06:58.000 --> 06:59.000
哪里?

07:01.000 --> 07:02.000
哪里?

07:04.000 --> 07:05.000
To make sense,

07:05.000 --> 07:07.000
when you're saying he's staying there,

07:07.000 --> 07:09.000
you would have to be pointing at some building.

07:10.000 --> 07:11.000
Repeat he's staying there.

07:12.000 --> 07:13.000
他住在哪里?

07:13.000 --> 07:18.000
他住在哪里?

07:21.000 --> 07:23.000
Try the whole exchange now.

07:23.000 --> 07:25.000
You're staying at the ambassador hotel,

07:25.000 --> 07:26.000
but he's staying over there.

07:27.000 --> 07:28.000
你住在哪里?

07:31.000 --> 07:32.000
我住在这里。

07:33.000 --> 07:34.000
他呢?

07:37.000 --> 07:38.000
他住在哪里?

07:40.000 --> 07:41.000
Again,

07:41.000 --> 07:42.000
你住在哪里?

07:46.000 --> 07:47.000
我住在这里。

07:48.000 --> 07:49.000
他呢?

07:51.000 --> 07:52.000
他住在哪里?

07:56.000 --> 07:59.000
But perhaps instead of staying in a hotel,

07:59.000 --> 08:01.000
you were invited to stay with friends.

08:01.000 --> 08:02.000
Listen,

08:03.000 --> 08:04.000
你住在哪里?

08:05.000 --> 08:06.000
我住在朋友家。

08:08.000 --> 08:10.000
In the word for friend,

08:10.000 --> 08:11.000
朋友.

08:11.000 --> 08:13.000
The first syllable has the rising tone,

08:13.000 --> 08:15.000
and the second syllable is in the neutral tone.

08:15.000 --> 08:16.000
Repeat friend.

08:17.000 --> 08:18.000
朋友.

08:19.000 --> 08:20.000
朋友.

08:22.000 --> 08:23.000
朋友.

08:25.000 --> 08:26.000
The word for house,

08:26.000 --> 08:28.000
家 has the high tone.

08:28.000 --> 08:29.000
Repeat house.

08:30.000 --> 08:31.000
家.

08:32.000 --> 08:33.000
家.

08:34.000 --> 08:35.000
家.

08:38.000 --> 08:39.000
The phrase,

08:39.000 --> 08:40.000
朋友家,

08:40.000 --> 08:42.000
means a friend's house.

08:42.000 --> 08:44.000
But you'll notice that there's nothing in the phrase

08:44.000 --> 08:45.000
to indicate the possessive,

08:45.000 --> 08:47.000
like the English apostrophe s.

08:47.000 --> 08:48.000
Repeat,

08:48.000 --> 08:50.000
I'm staying at a friend's house.

08:51.000 --> 08:52.000
我住在朋友家。

08:56.000 --> 08:57.000
我住在朋友家。

09:01.000 --> 09:03.000
Now assume that you're staying with friends

09:03.000 --> 09:05.000
and answer the next question.

09:05.000 --> 09:08.000
你住在哪里?

09:10.000 --> 09:12.000
我住在朋友家。

09:14.000 --> 09:15.000
Again,

09:15.000 --> 09:17.000
你住在哪里?

09:20.000 --> 09:21.000
我住在朋友家。

09:23.000 --> 09:25.000
How do you say a friend's house?

09:28.000 --> 09:29.000
朋友家。

09:30.000 --> 09:32.000
How do you say my house?

09:32.000 --> 09:33.000
我家。

09:35.000 --> 09:37.000
How do you say Mr. Lee's house?

09:40.000 --> 09:41.000
李先生家。

09:45.000 --> 09:46.000
After your friend finds out

09:46.000 --> 09:48.000
that you are staying with friends,

09:48.000 --> 09:50.000
the conversation might continue like this.

09:51.000 --> 09:53.000
你朋友家在哪里?

09:53.000 --> 09:55.000
他家在大理街。

09:56.000 --> 09:57.000
Repeat the word for street,

09:57.000 --> 09:59.000
it has the high tone.

09:59.000 --> 10:00.000
接。

10:01.000 --> 10:02.000
接。

10:03.000 --> 10:04.000
接。

10:06.000 --> 10:07.000
接。

10:09.000 --> 10:10.000
Repeat,

10:10.000 --> 10:11.000
大理街。

10:12.000 --> 10:13.000
大理街。

10:15.000 --> 10:16.000
大理街。

10:18.000 --> 10:19.000
大理街。

10:22.000 --> 10:23.000
Repeat,

10:23.000 --> 10:25.000
his house is on 大理街。

10:25.000 --> 10:28.000
他家在大理街。

10:31.000 --> 10:33.000
他家在大理街。

10:36.000 --> 10:38.000
Try answering the following questions.

10:38.000 --> 10:40.000
Assume that you are staying with friends

10:40.000 --> 10:42.000
who live on Dali Street.

10:42.000 --> 10:44.000
你住在哪里?

10:48.000 --> 10:50.000
我住在朋友家。

10:50.000 --> 10:55.000
你朋友家在哪里?

10:56.000 --> 10:58.000
我朋友家在大理街。

11:00.000 --> 11:01.000
Again,

11:01.000 --> 11:03.000
你住在哪里?

11:06.000 --> 11:08.000
我住在朋友家。

11:09.000 --> 11:11.000
你朋友家在哪里?

11:11.000 --> 11:17.000
我朋友家在大理街。

11:20.000 --> 11:22.000
Now the next thing you might be asked

11:22.000 --> 11:23.000
is your friend's address.

11:23.000 --> 11:24.000
Listen,

11:24.000 --> 11:27.000
你朋友的地址是?

11:28.000 --> 11:31.000
他的地址是大理街42号。

11:33.000 --> 11:35.000
The word for address is 地址,

11:35.000 --> 11:37.000
the first syllable has a falling tone

11:37.000 --> 11:39.000
and the second syllable has a low tone.

11:39.000 --> 11:40.000
However,

11:40.000 --> 11:41.000
from a formal conversation,

11:41.000 --> 11:43.000
the second syllable becomes neutral.

11:43.000 --> 11:44.000
Repeat address.

11:44.000 --> 11:45.000
地址,

11:47.000 --> 11:48.000
地址,

11:50.000 --> 11:51.000
地址。

11:54.000 --> 11:56.000
Here's the exchange again.

11:56.000 --> 11:58.000
This time listen for the possessive marker 地。

11:59.000 --> 12:01.000
你朋友的地址是?

12:02.000 --> 12:05.000
他的地址是大理街42号。

12:07.000 --> 12:09.000
So far in this tape,

12:09.000 --> 12:11.000
you've expressed possessive relationships

12:11.000 --> 12:13.000
by simply putting the possessor in front of the possessed.

12:13.000 --> 12:14.000
For example,

12:14.000 --> 12:16.000
我朋友,

12:16.000 --> 12:17.000
my friend,

12:17.000 --> 12:18.000
literally,

12:18.000 --> 12:19.000
I friend,

12:19.000 --> 12:20.000
or,

12:20.000 --> 12:21.000
李先生家,

12:21.000 --> 12:23.000
Mr. Lee's house,

12:23.000 --> 12:24.000
literally,

12:24.000 --> 12:25.000
Mr. Lee house.

12:25.000 --> 12:27.000
But notice that in the expression,

12:27.000 --> 12:29.000
你的地址,

12:29.000 --> 12:30.000
your address,

12:30.000 --> 12:32.000
the possessive relationship is made explicit

12:32.000 --> 12:34.000
by the possessive marker 地。

12:34.000 --> 12:36.000
You've seen this before in expressions like

12:36.000 --> 12:39.000
方寶蘭的先生,

12:39.000 --> 12:42.000
which is literally 方寶蘭's husband.

12:42.000 --> 12:44.000
Usually only very close relationships

12:44.000 --> 12:46.000
are left unmarked.

12:47.000 --> 12:49.000
Repeat his address.

12:50.000 --> 12:51.000
他的地址,

12:53.000 --> 12:55.000
他的地址,

12:57.000 --> 12:59.000
他的地址。

13:00.000 --> 13:02.000
How do you say my address?

13:02.000 --> 13:04.000
我的地址.

13:07.000 --> 13:09.000
How do you say my friend's address?

13:12.000 --> 13:14.000
我朋友的地址.

13:17.000 --> 13:19.000
Repeat after the speaker.

13:19.000 --> 13:21.000
What's your friend's address?

13:21.000 --> 13:23.000
你朋友的地址是

13:26.000 --> 13:28.000
你朋友的地址是

13:28.000 --> 13:30.000
你朋友的地址是

13:32.000 --> 13:35.000
Here the question is asked using a device

13:35.000 --> 13:36.000
we also use in English,

20:25.000 --> 20:28.000
two old classmates who haven't seen each other in a long time,

20:28.000 --> 20:32.000
recognize one another on the street.listen.

20:32.000 --> 20:35.000
哦,哈敏珍,你好。

20:35.000 --> 20:44.000
你好,你是马民里吧?是的,方敏珍,你现在住在哪里?我住在朋友家。

20:44.000 --> 20:52.000
啊,您朋友家在哪里?他住在大理街十八号。

20:52.000 --> 20:57.000
now you take the part of 方敏珍,you don't quite recognize 马民里at first,

20:57.000 --> 21:02.000
so you need to ask to be sure. Then you answer his questions.

21:02.000 --> 21:06.000
you're living with friends at number 18, Dali Street.

21:06.000 --> 21:12.000
哦,方敏珍,你好啊。

21:12.000 --> 21:24.000
你好,你是马民里吧?是的,方敏珍,你现在住在哪里?我住在朋友家。

21:24.000 --> 21:31.000
啊,你朋友家在哪里?

21:31.000 --> 21:36.000
他住在大理街十八号。try again.

21:36.000 --> 21:43.000
哦,方敏珍,你好啊。

21:43.000 --> 22:00.000

22:00.000 --> 22:06.000
他住在大理街十八号。

22:06.000 --> 22:13.000
now let's turn to another topic. Talking about where someone works. Listen.

22:13.000 --> 22:23.000
你朋友现在在哪里工作?他在台南工作.repeat the verb to work. The term pattern is high falling.

22:23.000 --> 22:30.000
工作。工作。工作。

22:30.000 --> 22:35.000
notice that there are two verbs in the sentence 他在台南工作。

22:35.000 --> 22:44.000
the first verb 在 indicates the location and along with the place name describes the second verb 工作,which indicates the action.

22:44.000 --> 22:50.000
so a verb such as 在 can be the main verb in a sentence or take a backseat to another verb such as 工作。

22:50.000 --> 22:57.000
when it's not the main verb, we call 在 a prepositional verb and translate it as in, at, or on.

22:57.000 --> 23:10.000
repeat the sentence, he works in 台南。他在台南工作。

23:10.000 --> 23:18.000
also you'll notice that in the Chinese sentence 他在台南工作。the order is place and then action unlike the English sentence.

23:18.000 --> 23:27.000
how do you say he works in 台南?他在台南工作。

23:27.000 --> 23:33.000
try answering the next question. Answer that your friend works in 台南。

23:33.000 --> 23:44.000
你朋友现在在哪里工作?他在台南工作。

23:44.000 --> 23:55.000
again 你朋友现在在哪里工作?他在台南工作。

23:55.000 --> 24:13.000
here's a similar exchange. listen 你在哪里工作?我在银行工作。repeat the word for bank 银行。银行。银行。银行。

24:13.000 --> 24:18.000
notice that the final sound of 银 sounds almost, but not quite like 银行。

24:18.000 --> 24:29.000
try saying bank again 银行。银行。银行。银行。

24:29.000 --> 24:40.000
repeat I work at a bank 我在银行工作。我在银行工作。

24:40.000 --> 24:54.000

24:54.000 --> 25:08.000
try answering the next question. Assume that you work at a bank.你在哪里工作?我在银行工作。
