坐，座，做，作

Yesterday in Mandarin class, we were talking about the difference between these four “zuo4”. Same tone but different meaning and characters. So I made a sentence with these four characters. 我坐在我的座位上做我的作業。Students were looking at me with the expression “???” Then, we broke it down and talked about the difference between the four characters. Then one student said, “why is Chinese so complicated?” The other commented, “WOW!!!” Whether it’s complicated or confused, one thing that is for sure is it caught their attention for a while.
