As a professional Mandarin instructor with almost two decades worth of teaching experience in American schools, I came to recognize how language-learning in a school setting is only one step in the long journey of acquiring a foreign language. I felt a need and urge to bring my profession beyond school, and I believe professional teaching should be accessible to anyone at any point in their life. It is with this belief that I founded MAD Mandarin LLC in 2018 with the goal to incorporate the latest teaching methods with my own innovative approach of Mindful-Active-Dynamic to positively achieve the best language-learning results.
今天的新朋友是“求职”，也就是找工作的意思。
与其说“求职”这个词是个新朋友，不如说它是一个新组合。“求”的组合还有很多，比如：要求，请求，等；同样，”职“也是常用字，它的别的组合有：职业，职务， 等。
Today’s new friend is “qiu2 zhi2”, which means to look or hunt for a job.
“Qiu2 zhi2求职” is more a new combination than a new word. “Qiu2求” can combine with many other words, like “yao1 qiu2 要求(to request/requrement) ” and “qing3 qiu2 请求 (to ask/to please)”; “zhi2职” holds hand to other words as well, such as “zhi2 yi4 职业(occupation)” and “zhi2 wu4职务 (position)”.
