Writing practice

Even Though: 纵然, 纵使, 虽说

A close friend has just failed the bar exam for the second time and is thinking of giving up. Write a letter (200–400 characters) encouraging them. Use 虽说 and 纵然 or 纵使 for concession, and 唯有…才 for the one way forward.

  • 虽说…,但… for a mild concession
  • 纵然 / 纵使…也… for an extreme or hypothetical concession
  • 唯有…才… for the one condition that matters
  • A warm, personal tone with concrete advice

Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
