In this video, we're not just studying Chinese; we're living it. Join me and my friend Lirong as we chat about selling second-hand items in Beijing（China）. We dive deep into how decluttering our space also helps declutter our minds, and the interesting things we discovered along the way. This is Comprehensible Input (CI) at its best—using real-world visuals and natural flow to help you acquire the language intuitively. Whether you are here for Shadowing Practice or to boost your Mandarin listening, 👉 Make sure to watch till the end — there’s a little surprise!!哈哈
