Really people?

I just learned the word for "ultrasonic wave", as in "the ultrasonic wave permitted me to see the gender of the baby" the word in case you are curious is 超声波　pronounced (chao sheng bo) which actually sounds like (chow shung bwou). Its literal translation is "super sound ripple" or something to that effect.

I still don't know how to write words like "easy" at times, but at least now I can read and say "ultrasound wave", god knows I need to say that in English just about everyday.

Other vocab phrases (from today):
-Rack one's brains in scheming
-Be unable to make heads or tails of something
-Be filled with shocked wonder

These phrases are actually very useful, but masterfully hard to remember exactly how to say at the right moment. Given how I stutter along when I speak about more complex topics, it just is unlikely that I'll carry across the right inflection to say "Gee - I'm filled with shocked wonder" without it sounding like "I am fillllled shockkk ummm. ummm. that, what is it - oh! wonder!, right? right? filled wonder shock, filled with shocked wonder?"

I'll keep trying :)
