The Trilingual Chatbox

Language Skills | Expressing simultaneous actions in Japanese (~(し)ながら…する) and Chinese (一邊…一邊…)


Listen Later

In today's episode*, Lori and Mai will cover a grammar point shared in Chinese and Japanese. It corresponds to language proficiency tests HSK 3 (Chinese) and N5 (Japanese). As simple and basic as the structure may seem, it has some nuances that many learners underestimate. Listen in today as we discuss these subtle differences and help you become familiar with the sentence structure through a shadowing exercise. Check out our Wordpress for exercise transcripts.


*Note: We want to express our sincere apology to our listeners for the poor audio quality of this episode. Thank you for continuing to listen and for all your support. We will make every effort to present better production.
