好好好😍😍
你好 Shaolan, I have noticed that you use 好 for 很 when you mean "very". For example, 好坏人。When do you use 好 and when you use 很？
I love your style. I love the context and history behind each word and it's Chinese character.

I didn’t know you had a podcast. I get to know Chineasy some years ago, when I started to learn Chinese and I found it a nice project. So now, I am very happy that I discovered this podcast.
For some reason your podcasts don't play for me anymore. It only happens with your show. I'm sad 😔
Thanks Shaolan!
I live full-time in China for four years. I heard dui bu qi probably once a year. So when you say that Chinese people are always saying it, I am totally perplexed. It must be a Taiwanese thing. in Shenzhen, people would more often say bu Hao yi si
you are doing great work
