IN THIS LESSON
ID: 2101 Intermediate
It's an open secret in China that you can watch foreign TV shows for free online. Or at least it used to be. After going public in the United States, some of China's largest video watching sites no longer host TV shows for free. What's a fan to do? In this lesson, two friends talk about where they're going to watch.
