IN THIS LESSON
ID: QW0186 Intermediate
We had to stifle the urge to use "military man" for the title of this lesson, because Chinese words for soldiers are properly gender neutral. The Chinese words for soldier, however, involve other considerations, like rank and prestige. Now listen in and learn about these key terms. That's an order!
