About

This lesson takes place in a doctor's office, and while we hope you won't have too many encounters with

the Chinese medical system, it is one of the many places the words and phrases we teach in this podcast

will come in useful. So if you're new to learning the Chinese language, put on your earphones and get

listening. By the time this podcast is over, you'll know enough mandarin to ask how others are doing and

be expert at pointing and complaining whenever someone else returns the courtesy.
