I’m Hungry, You Fools!

About

Our biological clock is a natural wonder. It tells us when to sleep, when to wake, and of course when to

eat. So when the alarms start sounding and the hunger pangs strike, there's only one prudent course of

action: start complaining as loudly as possible in the hope that someone will appear with food. It worked

when you were a kid, right?

If you are totally new to learning Chinese you are in the right place. Join us in this podcast and we'll
