IN THIS LESSON
ID: 0790 Intermediate
Studying abroad: glamorous, exciting, and culturally stimulating, all wrapped up in one ball. That is, till you found yourself living in the backwaters of Arkansas, picking up a drawl and eating grits pretending they were rice porridge. In this lesson, listen as our excited yet possibly naive student prepares for the trip of a lifetime (or not), in Mandarin Chinese.
