Miss you guys!
You guys are awesome. So helpful and you both have a nice sense of humor.
Wow here is a new theme for you what about jokes in Chinese ? What things you can say and what you can't?
It's always hard to get a joke in a foreign language. Let's test Xiaoli first. Write a English joke here and see if she can get it. LOL
HelloChinese Here is a longish one, I hope you enjoy!
One day, a priest and an atheist go hunting in the woods.
The atheist sees a deer, shoots at it, and misses. The noise causes the deer to run away.
“****, I missed,” cursed the atheist.
“Don’t use that foul language,” said the priest. “God will surely strike you down.”
A while later, they see another deer, bigger than the first. The atheist once again aims, shoots, and misses.
“****, I missed,” said the atheist.
“Don’t use that foul language,” said the priest. “God will surely strike you down.”
A while later, they see the biggest deer of all. The atheist aims, shoots, and misses.
Now he is extremely angry. He shouts every curse word he knows.
Before the priest can open his mouth to scold the atheist, fire comes down from Heaven and burns the priest to a crisp.
And God, looking down at earth, says:
“****, I missed.”
Jie di lian. Omg. I'm 5 1/2 years older than my husband. 😂 Whyeee? Lol
I always thought 相爱 means to fall in love... now I am confused which to use.
One of my favorite songs is 恋爱ing by五月天. If you’ve heard the song, I can do the really fast part now (at least, part of the time I can!)
I couldn’t find podcasts on the Itunes
Sorry to interrupt you again, but both versions podcasts of iOS and Android are not available. Podcasts are found, but can not be played. Please check it

bit.ly/HellochinaGP for Google Play
Hope that helps!
Great show guys. Slim chance but would you consider doing a straight up hate filled podcast? Just get cursing and common insults out of the way. I wouldn't want to use them but if it ever comes up I'd like to understand what someone us saying.
Frederick, they don't know us well enough to teach us this. BUT if you break their cell phone... they will demonstrate a good number of them.
I just watched to the end. I hope it’s okay to ask... was Jorge’s divorce comment a joke? (I’m bad at recognizing jokes)
Haha, yeah it was a joke. No divorce. I realized I cut out the part where we made a joke about us getting married
Fen shou sounds like a broken hand to me ✋⚰
Ship. I ship it
I'm with Jorge here: if I, ignorant of Chinese culture and language, saw 姐弟恋 I would assume either regular sibling love or incest. The explanation of the phrase makes sense, though.
Thank you! I knew I wasn't crazy haha. -Jorge
