β FAQ
How is a dialogue different from the sentence patterns?
Patterns are single sentences you can swap words into. A dialogue is a whole conversation with an opening, follow-up questions, a blocker and a wrap-up, so you practise taking turns and keeping pace.
How do I use role play?
Pick a role. Your own lines hide the English and keep the Chinese as a prompt: say it yourself first, then reveal the standard wording and compare.
Do I need to memorise the whole dialogue?
No. Remember one or two lines per stage, and focus on being able to answer as soon as the other person finishes.
