New school year started this week. Some international students were also able to be back to BLCU campus. I would like to talk about how to introduce yourself when you meet someone for the first time.

My boss raised my salary. My saving goes up. But the landlord increased my house rent. Today, I would like to talk about how to say those kinds of “increasing” in Chinese.

May I ask you for a favor? Can you follow us and give us a thumbs up if you like today’s post? Because today I would like to talk about how to ask for help in a polite way.

We are working from home now because the situation here in Beijing. We can’t record the audio in the same room using my fancy microphone. I’m sorry if the sound is not that good as previous audios.

And this week we would like to talk about a Chinese word 打(dǎ) which has a lot of different meaning.

5月(wǔyuè)20号(èrshí hào), 520 sounds like 我(wǒ)爱(ài)你(nǐ). So it's kind of a new Valentine's Day today. Good time to say 我(wǒ)爱(ài)你(nǐ). Not good time for 我们(wǒmen)不(bù)合适(héshì).

你(nǐ)喜欢(xǐhuan)吃(chī)汉堡(hànbǎo)吗(ma)? Do you like hamburger? Do you have any famous fast food in your place?

We have our Chinese teacher Caroline here again. And we are going to talk about an interesting topic, filters 滤镜(lǜjìng). That’s not your coffee filter. It’s the filter of your phone for taking pictures.

Do you dare to post a filter-free selfie on social media?

Nǐ gǎn bu gǎn fā bú dài lǜjìng de zhàopiàn?

你敢不敢发不带滤镜的照片？

Leave us a message and let us know!

Nǐ yǎng chǒngwù ma? Nǐ xǐhuan māo háishì gǒu?

你养宠物吗？你喜欢猫还是狗？

Do you have pets? Are you a dog person or a cat person? Leave a message and let us know!

There is a word commonly used in social media in recent 1 or 2 years, 社恐(shèkǒng), social anxiety. Although Human beings are social creatures, I think most of us are suffering from some different degree of social anxiety.
