Because from our teachers' points of view, we will not teach any new word, phrase, or sentence until they are collected into an official dictionary. However, it seems that in the real world, learners are willing to learn the latest language before they are officially approved. You can also send me an email or leave comments on <a href="http://learning-mandarin-apieceofcloud.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">my new blog about learning Mandarin</a> to let me know your thoughts.

Or maybe I mess them up with some other language? Anyway I know that there is always a method of translation but not always direct one. I wonder how it is with Chinese?
