44 Lost and found 丢东西
Hello everybody, thanks for joining us today on Growing up with Chinese. 欢迎大家收看今天的成长汉语.
Have any of you ever left something in a restaurant or a taxi? It’s a horrible feeling to know that you might have lost something. But there are good Samaritans*1 out there, and when we managed to get our lost items back, there is no feeling quite like it both for the person who lost something and for the good Samaritan.
Now, 小明’s uncle 王楠叔叔 loses something today. And how to say, it’s not really something you wanna be losing. So let’s check in with them and find out what he lost.

37 Complaints 抱怨
Greetings everyone, welcome back to another episode of Growing up with Chinese. 欢迎大家收看今天的成长汉语. We’ve got a fun line up for today’s show; we’re going to go over some of the ways one complains in Chinese.
That’s right. While complaining all the time isn’t something to be encouraged, it can’t hurt to know how you might go about expressing displeasure or dissatisfaction in Chinese. You never know when you might need those tools.
So, who do we have complaining today? You are guessing correctly if you’re thinking it’s 小明. He is quite opinionated*1 isn’t he. Well, let’s check in with him and see just what has him complaining today.
*1:opinionated 意固地な

Indeed, our topic is still music although our focus would be on the ways you can praise someone in Chinese. 不错吧, 那咱们就开始吧. Let’s first check in with our fabulous trio, and see just what’s going on.

Now before we get into today’s content, I just want to thank all of you who have left us messages on our website’s comment page. It’s very useful for us to know what you all think of this show. And how we might be able to improve. So thank you everybody.
To just think that even fifteen years ago, cyber communication didn’t exist. It kind of blows your mind*1, no? It’s rare to run into people these days who don’t know how to navigate the internet and send emails and the like*2 but they do still exist and actually today’s dialogue is proof of that. 小明’s dad is having some computer issues but thankfully, 小明 is there to give him a helping hand. Let’s take a look at the dialogue and find out just exactly what’s going on.

Good buddy, 大家好, 欢迎收看成长汉语. Welcome back to another episode of Growing up with Chinese.
Now did the last show’s computer vocabulary settle into a more permanent spot in your heads? Technical vocabulary can be a bit tough to tackle just because it isn’t necessarily something you use everyday. However computers and the internet are certainly a big part of many people’s daily routines. So I’m glad we got a chance to cover some of the basics in Chinese.
Now today’s topic is a bit more light-hearted; we will be talking about music. But before we go any further, let’s check in with our fabulous trio and see just exactly what it is they’re up to.
