- Ep13 - Sharing our favorite Chinese idioms!! How important is learning idioms?
Idiom time! In this episode we discuss several Chinese idioms (成語) we really like including 天方夜譚，雪中送炭，細水長流，井底之蛙 and more! 大家喜歡成語吧？這集我們各自介紹幾個特愛的成語！跟好朋友一起討論成語真的是錦上添花（如果我們亂用成語的話，請見諒喔！）
Who are we:
Two friends who love learning Chinese and like to shoot the shit, all in Mandarin Chinese! We share our experiences learning Chinese, living in Taiwan, and everything else in between. Listen as we push our Chinese ability to the limit for your listening and learning pleasure (great comprehensible input).
我们是两位特别热爱学中文的好朋友。我们会透过天马行空对话来分享在台湾学中文的体验以及五花八门的人生话题。虽然我们的中文还有很大的进步空间，我们都很喜欢挑战。而且我们相信学语言需要锲而不舍的态度，所以本节目就当成我们学中文的操场和记录。中文好难哦！
We love hearing from you!
