        Hello mr. Benny,
How are you? I want to learn how to say: Thank you for…..
Thank you for coming!
Thank you for being so polite and nice.
Thank you for not being impatient.
When I go to China, I like to eat Chinese food. 
When I’m at my house I like to study mandarin.
Also, I want to know: to be right and wrong.
What is the word for false in mandarin and how do I use the word Jia 1? Jia means house and family. How do I clarify the two? Wo de jia means my house? Zai jia means at home?

In Chinese “Thanks for… = xiè xie nǐ +……” For example: 
1. Thank you for coming… = xiè xie nǐ lái…. 
2. Thank you for being so polite and nice = xiè xie nǐ zhè me kè qì 
3. Thanks for your patience = xiè xie nǐ de nài xīn 
4. When I go to China, I like to eat Chinese food = wǒ qù zhōng guó de shí hòu, wǒ xǐ huān chī zhōng guó cài 
5. When I’m at my house I like to study Mandarin = wǒ zài jiā de shí hòu, wǒ xǐ huān xué xi pǔ tōng huà 
As for right and wrong, 
right = duì de 
wrong = cuò de 
False in Chinese is “jiǎ de” 
In Chinese “jiā” means home. 
House = fáng zi 
family = jiā rén 
“wǒ de jiā” means “my home”. Not my house 
Zǎi jiā = at home
