Guojia = home country or homeland. Is that more accurate?

Hello azmanar, home country or homeland means "祖国 zǔguó" in Chinese. It is a little different from "Guojia."

Ni hao Becky, I'd like to know why you say "nage bumen" and translate "bumen" as department, but then you say "qihua bu" and not "qihua bumen". Why is that? Which word is department them "bumen" or "bu"? Thanks, Maria

nǐ hǎo. Vmasci. Thanks for your question. Here "qǐhuà bù" actually is the omitted version of "qǐhuà bùmén." Both "bùmén" and "bù" means department. In oral Chinese, in order to make it easier to say, we usually say "bù" instead of "bùmén."

About the simplified and traditional characters, is it okay to mix simplified and traditional characters at the same sentence? Would it be considered bad writing?

Hi marcos.m.ventura, We won't mix simplified and traditional characters. In the mainland of China we don't use traditional characters nowadays. So not all of Chinese could read both traditional and simplified characters. Some people may not get your meaning, if you mix them.

Hello, I have tried to sign up for the 7 day free trial. Unfortuately, I am very confused as to why one day I can access the site information but the next day I can't. How do I cancel my membership, since I can't find a way to do it from here.

Hi Americanmark, I have checked your account and you haven’t started the 7-day free trial successfully. So there is no need to cancel it. You mentioned that you couldn’t access the site information. May I know more details about this issue? Thank you.
