I miss the grammar! But I'm enjoying the chengyu, so. *g*

(It would be great if we could circle back round to grammar at some point, if you have any ideas for how to do that ...)

I am definitely thinking about what to do with grammar. I didn't expect there to be this many chengyu...

Re: circling back to grammar

I welcome (and can always use) refreshers on grammar we've already covered. I feel like I got particularly lost in the weeds during C1. But I'm enjoying the chengyu and finding them useful. So one thought is a weekly grammar day? Like "Grammar Fridays" or something?

But, truly, whatever works best for you!

Weekly grammar day is a good place to start! I'm working on it, patience appreciated <3
