Episode 46 - Basic: How Did I Know My Best Friend 👯♀️
In this heartwarming beginner episode, Christine shares a simple story about meeting a best friend at university — how a random seat assignment became a lasting friendship. You’ll hear natural, everyday Mandarin about meeting people (认识), shared interests (兴趣), hanging out (见面、聊天), and keeping in touch (联络).
The story introduces clear sentence patterns you can use to talk about your own friendships:
- 「我们是在学校认识的」– We met at school
- 「我们常常去咖啡店聊天」– We often chat at cafés
- 「有朋友在身边，生活就不孤单」– With friends by your side, life isn’t lonely
✨ Perfect for learners around HSK 2–3, focusing on daily social interactions, friendship vocabulary, and short past-tense storytelling in Mandarin.
