IN THIS LESSON
ID: 0711 Elementary
Sailing? In Beijing, you say? Boats gliding through the moat of the Forbidden City? Or a fake ocean to go with the fake ski hill? No... even better. You're going to get to head to the beauty of Qingdao. Visit it in this podcast, where you will learn about this Olympic event, in Mandarin. Our bet, however, is that the Chinese junk boat will blow those pansy sailboats out of the water.
