HSK 5 Unit 1: Even If and No Matter What
Preview version — Chinese review in progress.
Five lessons on strong conditions: even if with 即使…也, no matter what with 不管…都, even if in speech with 就算 and 就是…也, once with 一旦…就, and a longer text about not giving up.
Goal: You can say what you will do even in difficult conditions, distinguish 不管 from 无论, use spoken and written forms of even if, warn about what happens once something starts, and follow a longer argument about persistence.
