About

We were surprised when 9527 came out with this, especially since she's studying to be a programmer. But

given the maze of Chinese Internet businesses with strange three-character names, it's not all surprising

that - sooner or later - someone had to make this mistake. Just be glad this foot-in-mouth moment

happened to a native speaker and not you....

If you're a total beginner to Chinese, you'll find this lesson a bit on the hard side compared to most of

our Absolute Beginner materials. So if you're new to Popup Chinese and easily intimidated, try starting

with an easier lesson like this one. If you feel courageous though, remember that we have line-by-line

recordings of all of the lines in this dialogue on our lesson text page, so you can listen to them one-byone and practice until you get perfect. And for feedback on your spoken Chinese? We've enabled our

Speaking Practice hotline for this lesson. Grab your PIN from the text page and give us a call for some

individual Chinese learning love. We're looking forward to hearing from you.
