danli Posted January 19, 2009 at 07:52 PM Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 at 07:52 PM I cannot figure out how to write these words in chinese. How do the chinese write these words in their language? Or I can use pinyin if you know that. 1. interest (what you pay on a loan to the bank) 2. refund (the money you get back from the IRS . .like a tax refund) 3. check (American's write alot of checks . . .a form of money) 4. domestic (referring to a person’s own country..something local..your own home area) 5. abroad (referring to another country a good distance away from your current country) I am teaching English to Chinese locals in my area, but I don't know how to explain these words to them in their own language!!! Mandarin please Thank you for any help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's harder to explain these things than it is inanimate objects, however it is possible, and very desirable when learning a foreign language because it relates the English words to what the represent, rather than to their translated words in Chinese.
