guardian_learning第七天 day! You know the rules. Post something you like, and/or something that was helpful for study, basically anything interesting to you and Chinese-language-related ;)
(Silly request: you know those grid logic puzzles, where you have five people, five pets, five houses etc. and you figure out which belongs to which? Do those exist in Chinese? I have a bad habit of wasting time on them when I'm stressed, and Chinese ones would at least be good reading practice...)
Mine: 吃一堑长一智, a useful (and comforting) phrase Yu-jie taught me last week, roughly "you learn something from every stumble" (?).
Also another favorite Liu Chang song (I think I've posted it before, but not here), since around this time of year, at least in the northern hemisphere, it's what we would all like to do: 再睡五分钟. 我虽然爱睡懒觉，但是绝不迟到，早上好。 remind me to come back to this when the 虽然...但是 grammar point comes up...

And yeah, while breaking it down doesn't work for all idioms (like… alright, bit of an extreme example because I'm suddenly 脑子一片空白 and can't think of a better one, but there's even archaic structures like 不亦乐乎 where modern Chinese just simply Does Not Grammar Like That anymore) it's very helpful for learning and remembering! …though you may have to check CN-CN resources rather than CN-EN I guess.
