Every language learning program needs at least one lesson on creepy workplace stalking. And by this we mean a lesson filled with useful tips and tricks on how to pickup friends and coworkers without coming across like a creepy stalker. And that's why we've taken special pains to produce this show filled with tips and tricks for maximizing your chances of office romance. And also two really useful prepositions. What more could you want?

Thanks for an interesting lesson. Since Chinese doesn't have alphabets how do you say 'from A to Z' in Chinese?

@pitsrimasuno,

Well... actually we don't say it. 从无到有 (from nothing to something) is probably the most close one. You could use it when someone learns something and they've never done it before, or something happens from scratch.

@pitsrimasuno,

At school, we usually say 一年级，二年级, like grade one, grade two in English. In other situations, we say 初级，中级，高级, and it's more like beginner, intermediate and advanced.

Brendan, 这是不可怕的行为。男人不喜欢的人谁抽烟。他问她的电话号码，当他知道她不抽烟！

@LincolnDog,

哈哈哈，你说得很好，如果这样说更自然：

这不是可怕的行为，因为男人不喜欢抽烟的女人，所以当他知道她不抽烟的时候，他就问了她的电话号码。
