Advanced Lesson - Chinese Podcast - Magic cat I

佛祖说过，世间凡是有七窍者皆可修炼成仙。所谓七窍其实按今天的话说就是生物吧。猫自然也算其中。而且据记载。修炼的猫每过二十年就能多长出一条尾巴，当尾巴长到第九条的时候，它就能修到一定的境界了。但这第九条尾巴可不好长，当一只猫拥有八条尾巴的时候，它会得到一个提示，它必须去满足一个人的愿望。而每实现一个愿望，猫就必须消失掉一条尾巴来实现。所以这几乎成了一个死循环。除非它碰到的那个人许一个愿意让它长第九根尾巴的愿望。

Advanced Lesson - Chinese Podcast - Chinese Jokes

快乐是分很多种的，但是有些玩笑是开不得的。我们来看看日常生活中有哪些玩笑是不能开的呢？

1. 绿帽子 - 在外国人的眼里就是指绿色的帽子,但在国人眼里却是特指男子遭到了自己女人的背叛。我们中国人所说的绿帽子啊，是指自己的老婆背着丈夫和别的男人好，就仿佛给他带了顶绿帽子，所以在中国，是不会有人去给自己买顶绿色的帽子戴在头上的!

2. 兔子 – 女同性恋

3. 二百五 -是莽撞、无礼、粗鲁者的代名词。

4. 十三点 - 等同于痴头怪脑，愚昧无知

Elementary Lesson - Chinese Podcast - Southern or Northern

你是哪里人？where are you from? Sometimes, instead of telling you the name of their hometown, we, Chinese, might answer: 我是南方人，I am from the south or 我是北方人, I am from the north. The reason is that the north and the south are two approximate regions within China. The exact boundary between those two regions has never been clearly defined, but it is often referred to the division of Yangtze River. So people from the north side of the Yangtze River are Northern, for example: cities like 北京，哈尔滨，and 内蒙古and the other half is Southern，like 上海，南京，杭州 and 武汉。In general, people from the North are taller on the other hand Southern Chinese have bigger eyes.
