So the bedroom is next to the living room would be Ke4ting1 pang2bian1 shi4 wo4 shi4, right?<br \/>  YJ:  very good. But we have another way to say this using the word\u9694\u58c1(ge2  bi4), which means next door. \u9694(ge2), second tone. \u58c1( bi4), fourth tone.<br \/>  Cam: \u9694(ge2),\u58c1( bi4). <br \/>  YJ: So wher is her bedroom again, Cam?<br \/>  Cam: Well Yaj, \u5ba2\u5385\u9694\u58c1\u662f\u5367\u5ba4\u3002(ke4 ting1 ge2 bi4 shi4 wo4shi4). The bedroom is next to the living room.<\/p>\n<p>Conversation3<\/p>\n<p>Cam: YJ, I think I can say &lsquo;There is a washroom to the opposite of the bedroom&rsquo; if you teach me the new words. <br \/>  YJ:  Oh, I would love to. washroom is \u6d17\u624b\u95f4(xi3 shou3 jian1). \u6d17, third tone,  means to wash. \u624b, third tone also, hand. \u95f4, first tone, means room.
