Episode description

In this episode, we’ll learn how to talk about how often you do things in Chinese — how to say ‘I study every day,’ ‘I sometimes read,’ or ‘I never wake up early.’ These tiny words can change your whole sentence, and make you sound like a real local. ☕📆

Frequency Words:
每天 (every day), 有时候 (sometimes), 常常 (often), 从不 (never), 总是 (always)
