Eric had been in China for less than a year. He didn’t know much Chinese, and made mistakes from time to time. One day, he was late for his Chinese class. Here’s the conversation between him and his teacher.
Lǎoshī: Wèi shénme chídào?
老师： 为 什么 迟到？
Sorry I made you wait for so long!
Méi guānxi, shì wǒ zìjǐ chūmén zǎo le!
B: 没 关 系，是 我 自己 出门 早 了！
That’s okay, I left the house a little early!
