How different is 除了 from 以外? Or perhaps I think I've seen them be used in tandem to form 'other than' sentences.

Also - done my studying for the day... so sorry for the bombardment of questions! Thanks!

除了 is used at the beginning of a sentence/phrase and 以外 at the end, often combined with 除了. Check some example sentences in Pleco or 有道 for a better idea.

No worries about the questions, they add content to the course for other members!

Just wanted to add (from a student in the future :)), Jason I love seeing all your questions as I go through these same levels, you usually ask the same things I'm wondering about and since the MBM crew always give such thorough answers it's like a whole other level of great info. Thanks for asking them!!

Yes!! I'm so glad to hear this. You'll definitely be seeing a lot more of my questions moving forward. They're like a trail of breadcrumbs that will lead to me... I'm currently on L31. See you there!
