Besides the thorny relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, we will learn about the final"o" and initial"p."

Hello Ellie
When you are asking a question in the video, you always ask in English and the reply is in mandarin. Can you please ask your question in BOTH English and in Mandarin? Hearing more mandarin helps me learn it better. Thanks.

Hi Mu Tek,
Thanks for your good suggestion. But in this lesson, I want you to translate my English sentence "I am very afraid." into Chinese. 
We'll try to make the examples all in Chinese. Sometimes we use English because the Chinese sentences may be too hard for this level. In this lesson, we want students focus on the pronunciation of "p" and "o," not the meaning of a long Chinese sentence.
