Thinking and Feeling

About

Our lesson today is for absolute beginners to the Chinese language, which means that even if you don't

know any Chinese you should still find it accessible enough to pick up some of the basics. In it we cover

two useful verbs you can use to tell others what you are thinking and feeling. And as a bonus, we also

cover a useful phrase for apologizing in Chinese, either so you can apologize yourself, or so you can

demand satisfaction from everyone around you.
