A very short, very easy, Chinese passage about a fictional teacher at Beijing University, suitable for newer readers. You’ll learn a couple of interesting Chinese abbreviations for some of the biggest and most famous universities in Beijing, and a few school-centric words. Not a whole lot of compelling narrative here, and not much of a stunning conclusion, but good practice nonetheless.

Could someone please explain what is the function of 有 in this sentence? 他是一位非常有经验的法语老师
De zin betekent: ‘Hij is een leraar Frans die heel veel ervaring heeft.’ Dus die 有 slaat op ervaring hebben. 有经验的老师 = een leraar die ervaring heeft.
有 means have/ has.
他是一位非常有经验的法语老师 (he is a french teacher that has a lot of experience)
This is really useful for beginner. I hope the site can have more short and simple passages like this. Thank so much!!!
