IN THIS LESSON
ID: 0725 Intermediate
Does it seem a little conceited to do a lesson about 'ourselves?' Hey, we waited two years and 3 months to do it. It's about time for a little tooting of the horn. In this podcast, learn about how to talk about 'us', in Mandarin Chinese. (Just 'cause Aric's gone, doesn't mean there isn't any more room for shameless self-promotion, people.)
