Please help me with a "fill in the blank"

[cbfunky]

So we have this sentence here in our homework and I don't understand what's supposed to go in the blank:

现在我要_______学习汉语， 可能我给我朋友翻译。

The way I understand the sentence, I would just leave it as is: "I want to learn Chinese now, so I can offer a translation to my friend."

 

The only thing I could think of is 是 *(so: If I learn Chinese now, I can offer a translation to my friend) but then the sentence structure seems off to me.

Or maybe 去?

 

Any input is appreciated

Thank you!

just a guess :  开始

Guess can also be “好好”

或跟王老师等等。

It could be a lot of things - is it part of a particular exercise on certain grammar / vocab?

No, that's the thing, the grammar of the day was 了 and 才 but I don't think those are relevant here.

Keep in mind this is only my first semester of Chinese, we're about half-way through the term, so it shouldn't be anything complex.

 

I think 开始 is probably a good guess, I have not heard any of the other suggested words, so they're outside my scope. I'm still not ruling out 去, unless someone has strong opinions about that?

继续？

去北京？

[cbfunky]

So I submitted 跟老师

 

but apparently the only acceptable answers were:

	努力nǔlì
	去qù
	开始kāishǐ     Should have gone with 开始 T-T

No teacher looks at this? You're just trying to guess what's in the computer?

[cbfunky]

A teacher always verifies afterwards to rule out exactly that problem. So I may still get points for that!

Update: I did get the points for 跟老师  - thanks for all the help
