Hello everyone, 欢迎收看今天的成长汉语. Welcome back to another episode of Growing up with Chinese, thanks for joining us today.

Now last show we learned that 小明 had a badly sprained ankle. And while it wasn’t a fracture like he feared, a sprain is still a nuisance, poor guy. So he is home resting or should be anyway, so let’s check in with him right now and see how his convalescence*1 is going.

大家好, 欢迎收看今天的成长汉语. Hi there everybody, thanks for joining us for today’s episode of Growing up with Chinese.

Now we designed our show to help all of you learn some basic Chinese, through the adventures of 小明, a local 北京 high school student, and Mike, an exchange student who is living with 小明. And apart from language study, we also aim to introduce to you various aspects of Chinese culture, history and everyday life.

So, last show we ended on kind of a nerve-racking*1 note*2. 小明 had just got injured while playing basketball at school, and his friends were about to take him to the clinic. So let’s check in with them and see how he is doing.

いっぽうSpotlightでは、今回から数回に亘りChinese zodiac（十二支）の話が続きます。日本人にはちょっと退屈です。
