IN THIS LESSON
ID: 0707 Elementary
Hearing talk of turkey and mashed potatoes is like cruel and unusual punishment to oven-deprived China-ites. Rather than drooling, get into the spirit of Thanksgiving and be grateful: for cheap massages, the ayi you have that you could never afford at home, those BBQ meat skewers on the street, and DVDs for 75 cents. Then, listen to this podcast and learn how to be thankful, in Mandarin Chinese.
