IN THIS LESSON
ID: 0600 Intermediate
As you know, we at ChinesePod do not advocate drug deals, illegal sale of firearms and/or parking lot rage... but when it comes to our friendly neighborhood DVD man, well, that's when things get a little grey area-ish. Listen in to this podcast and learn all the Chinese movie-purchasing lingo you're going to need to pass those long summer evenings holed up in air-conditioning movie-watching bliss.
