IN THIS LESSON
ID: QW0258 Any
Our Qing Wen team is a pretty wild bunch - we love to go out on limbs and do things you never saw coming. In today's show, we're going to help you talk about expecting things (and defying expectations) as well as discuss the finer points of predicting the future in Chinese. We...umm...*anticipate* that you'll have a great time!
