Episode 55 - Basic: Buying Shoes 👟
In this cheerful beginner episode, Christine shares a simple story about a student buying new shoes with his sister — from trying them on to deciding they’re worth the price.

You’ll learn practical shopping expressions like:
 「我想试穿九号的。」– I’d like to try size 9.
 「这双鞋原本一千五百元，现在特价一千二百元。」– These shoes were 1,500 yuan, now on sale for 1,200.
 「穿起来很舒服。」– They feel very comfortable.

Christine also introduces key shopping vocabulary like 运动鞋 (sports shoes), 试穿 (to try on), 特价 (sale price), and 舒服 (comfortable).

✨ Perfect for learners around HSK 2-3, focusing on everyday shopping conversations and polite phrases for buying clothes or shoes.
