So, I am on day 115 of doing Duolingo Chinese and I think finally feel ready to check out some vocab posts here ^^ I didn‘t expect to stick to learning since I started super casually, but let‘s say Duolingo seems to be working for me.

I have also signed up for a beginner level A1 course to finally be able to talk to real people (hopefully) and ask specific questions. The course description says beginners with some prior knowledge and course topics will include introducing family members and ordering food. Both are topics I have covered in Duolingo before, but I‘m hoping to practise some writing and learn more vocab.

Some sentences on my current level:

我要面。
我吃饭也吃面。
我不喝冰茶。

Regarding 要, is there a more polite way to phrase that? So far I have learned nothing about register on the app.
