Description

In this episode, we explore the multiple uses of 再 (zài) — a small but powerful word that means “again”, helps link actions smoothly, and even appears in “goodbye” (再见 zàijiàn). You’ll learn how to use it naturally in real conversations and improve your fluency step by step.


We also dive into the cultural heart of China with a deep look at 面子 (miànzi) — the concept of “face”. It’s more than just reputation: it shapes how people behave, interact, and show respect in social and business settings.


In this episode, you’ll learn: ✅ All the common meanings and uses of 再 (zài) ✅ How to connect actions naturally (e.g. "eat first, then go for a walk") ✅ The role of 面子 in Chinese society and relationships ✅ Real-life sentence examples and tips for daily use ✅ Cultural insights to help you understand what giving or losing face really means
