About

It's been a while since we've released a lesson for absolute beginners, but we're back in the saddle today

with a sequel of sorts to our earlier podcast on how not to be confused for a Scientologist during your

weekend trip to Xi'an. So if you've ever fancied yourself more a Brad Pitt (or Angelina Jolie) take a listen

as we teach you how to introduce yourself to the locals in style. Maybe you'll get a free lunch out of it.

In addition to sharing some useful language for passing yourself off as a celebrity in China, in this lesson

we also introduce a dead-easy sentence pattern you can use to indulge in unsubstantiated celebrity

gossip or tell others how you feel. So if you're an absolute beginner give this lesson a listen. And if your

Chinese is more advanced, swing by our lessons archive and look for something a bit more suited to your

level of difficulty.
