IN THIS LESSON
ID: 0822 Upper Intermediate
Your Chinese in relation to that two year old child beside you? Yeah, relativity can suck. But, we're glass-half-full people here at ChinesePod, right? You'll know more Mandarin after this lesson than you did 15 minutes ago, so take heart and listen to this podcast on the theory of relativity. And gloat where reasons for gloating can be found. Einstein couldn't speak Chinese. That two-year old can't tie his shoe. So there.
