022 Take a break

Time to “take a break!” ShaoLan and Transition singer Jesse laugh about the different uses of this phrase in Chinese. Highly personable and insightful, make sure you understand the cultural significance of the word.

Bonus words include in the middle of break, rest area and abolish husband/wife.

If you forget how to say “husband/wife,” you can review that episode here.
