Advanced Lesson - Chinese Podcast - Eunuch

古代的一些奴隶主、君王和贵族为了使自己的妻妾们对他保持贞节，不准她们和一般男子接触，但後宫又需要男子服役，所以就大量地使用阉人，即中国所称的太监。
英文中的“太监”一词是由希腊语“守护床铺的人”而来的，由此也可知太监的作用。

Beginner Lesson - Chinese Podcast - Daily Chinese - Can I have a milk tea?

今天吴老师要教大家买奶茶。If you've ever been to China, you wouldn't want to miss the Chinese milk tea, it is a tea beverage with tapioca balls mixed in. The most notable difference between Chinese milk tea and other tea is the tapioca in the bottom of the drink. It looks like black pearls in water, so the Chinese name for milk tea is 珍珠奶茶. 珍珠奶茶 has so many different flavours, such as: blueberry, chocolate, mango, strawberry, vanilla and so on. In this lesson, I will not only teach you the history of milk tea but I will also teach you how to order one, so that you will be able to enjoy a nice cup of tea in the hot summer day.
