| 北京在中国的北边。(Běijīng zài Zhōngguó de běibiān.)"Beijing is in the north of China." That’s why it’s called Beijing - North capital. |
| 里(lǐ) |
| 里(lǐ) is ”inside" |
| 你的包里有什么东西？(nǐ de bāo lǐ yǒu shénme dōngxi ?)"What do you have in your bag?" |

Hi, Myriam,
Thank you for your comment.
Left in Chinese is 左（zuǒ）， front is 前面（qián miàn），in front is 在前面（zài qián miàn）.
上（shàng）＝above, on，upper
下（xià）＝down, downward
后（hòu）＝behind

Good teacher, good example sentences, but why only 5 words? It should be more comprehensive. Also, this is beginner, not intermediate.
