You are GREAT Benny!!
I just want to ask; You say “Wu Can” is lunch. Have I also heard “wu FAN (rice)” used for lunch or am I not hearing correctly?
Keep up your GREAT work!!!!!!!

Xie xie ni!! I’m very happy that you like my lessons.
You’re right, “wu fan” is also lunch, same as “wu can”. But here “fan” doesn’t mean “rice”. It means “meal”.
Well done!

why would a speaker choose to say “wu can” instead of “wu fan”? (“Fan” is also much easier to write!)
I love the lessons!

I guess it depends on the regional dialect。Correct me， if I’m wrong but if you head more to the north of China “wǔ fàn” is used often。And towards the south “wǔ cān” is used。
