Popup Chinese — Absolute Beginners: Feel My Total Indifference
<html><p>So, you've woken up at some ungodly hour in the morning to start hauling yourself out of bed when a minor epiphany strikes. Why get out of bed at all? Isn't there something better you can do with your day than this car trip to Tongzhou. And whose crazy idea was this anyway? How about just sleeping in past noon? Now there's a capital idea. And maybe in a few hours you could even head downstairs and get some breakfast, or maybe watch a movie. Or maybe just stay in bed all afternoon.</p><p>At Popup Chinese we're keenly aware of the practical reality of life in China: which is why we're happy to bring you today's lesson on what to do on those days you feel totally and utterly apathetic. If you've ever felt that cheerfulness is not exactly your strong point, this is the lesson for you. So join us today for an Absolute Beginner lesson that will let you tell them what you really think. Because sleep calls.</p><p>Navigate re-incarnated <a href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/xeniahell" target="_blank">Popup Chinese archives</a>, including the original customized word-to-word transcripts for this and every other lesson as PDF files:</p><p>Reincarnated <a href="https://www.patreon.com/collection/2145647" target="_blank">Popup Cantonese</a> — <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4kH3QggH2sjme7KSj09K45?si=VffdRjmHQPCrNN62cvI5ow" target="_blank">Popup Cantonese</a> — <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/popup-cantonese/id1896230937" target="_blank">Popup Cantonese</a></p><p>Reincarnated <a href="https://www.patreon.com/collection/2145586" target="_blank">Popup Chinese</a> — <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1UAMMJYiwYVwjvtcsftcwc?si=lTF6WipMQ36IVwcYyO59WQ" target="_blank">Popup Chinese</a> — <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/popup-chinese/id1896229769" target="_blank">Popup Chinese</a></p><p>Reincarnated <a href="https://www.patreon.com/collection/2157334" target="_blank">Popup Chinese shows</a> — <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/033esC4mqMif9T8dIp5qZ7?si=Cz6pUD0zRbuJaRIdX9UX6w" target="_blank">Popup Chinese shows</a> — <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/popup-chinese-shows/id1896539823" target="_blank">Popup Chinese shows</a></p></html>

Popup Chinese — Absolute Beginners: Where are you from?
<html><p>If you've ever been in a Chinese taxi, you've been asked this question, even if you didn't understand it at the time. In fact, being asked where one is from is such a common question we've decided to devote an entire lesson just to it. So join us in this beginner lesson and before long you'll be inventing new and exciting background stories each time you take a trip across town. Yes sir, I am a nuclear scientist from Kazakhstan.</p><p>Note: it's been a while since we've had a dedicated speaking practice lesson, so we've enabled our voice recording service for this lesson. If you're a premium subscriber click through to our text page and grab our telephone hotline and your personal PIN number. Call us up and leave us a message in Chinese when prompted: record yourself either practicing the dialogue or speaking extemporaneously using this vocabulary or telling us a story. Our teachers will get back to you in a day or two with personal feedback on how you're doing.</p><p>Navigate re-incarnated <a href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/xeniahell" target="_blank">Popup Chinese archives</a>, including the original customized word-to-word transcripts for this and every other lesson as PDF files:</p><p>Reincarnated <a href="https://www.patreon.com/collection/2145647" target="_blank">Popup Cantonese</a> — <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4kH3QggH2sjme7KSj09K45?si=VffdRjmHQPCrNN62cvI5ow" target="_blank">Popup Cantonese</a> — <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/popup-cantonese/id1896230937" target="_blank">Popup Cantonese</a></p><p>Reincarnated <a href="https://www.patreon.com/collection/2145586" target="_blank">Popup Chinese</a> — <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1UAMMJYiwYVwjvtcsftcwc?si=lTF6WipMQ36IVwcYyO59WQ" target="_blank">Popup Chinese</a> — <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/popup-chinese/id1896229769" target="_blank">Popup Chinese</a></p><p>Reincarnated <a href="https://www.patreon.com/collection/2157334" target="_blank">Popup Chinese shows</a> — <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/033esC4mqMif9T8dIp5qZ7?si=Cz6pUD0zRbuJaRIdX9UX6w" target="_blank">Popup Chinese shows</a> — <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/popup-chinese-shows/id1896539823" target="_blank">Popup Chinese shows</a></p></html>

Popup Chinese — Absolute Beginners: On Avoiding the Plague
<html><blockquote><p>"Don't worry about me," the voice on the phone hoarsely whispered after its wave of violent coughing finally subsided. "I'll be down in an hour so we can keep working on that report."</p></blockquote><p>Join us in our Absolute Beginner lesson for today as we learn a polite way of telling others to keep themselves and their infections out of your working space. There is a lot of simple but useful mandarin in this podcast. In addition to introducing a number of common adjectives you can use to express your fatigue and frustration, we also give you a simple sentence pattern you can use whenever you're feeling under the weather yourself.</p><p>Navigate re-incarnated <a href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/xeniahell" target="_blank">Popup Chinese archives</a>, including the original customized word-to-word transcripts for this and every other lesson as PDF files:</p><p>Reincarnated <a href="https://www.patreon.com/collection/2145647" target="_blank">Popup Cantonese</a> — <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4kH3QggH2sjme7KSj09K45?si=VffdRjmHQPCrNN62cvI5ow" target="_blank">Popup Cantonese</a> — <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/popup-cantonese/id1896230937" target="_blank">Popup Cantonese</a></p><p>Reincarnated <a href="https://www.patreon.com/collection/2145586" target="_blank">Popup Chinese</a> — <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1UAMMJYiwYVwjvtcsftcwc?si=lTF6WipMQ36IVwcYyO59WQ" target="_blank">Popup Chinese</a> — <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/popup-chinese/id1896229769" target="_blank">Popup Chinese</a></p><p>Reincarnated <a href="https://www.patreon.com/collection/2157334" target="_blank">Popup Chinese shows</a> — <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/033esC4mqMif9T8dIp5qZ7?si=Cz6pUD0zRbuJaRIdX9UX6w" target="_blank">Popup Chinese shows</a> — <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/popup-chinese-shows/id1896539823" target="_blank">Popup Chinese shows</a></p></html>
