HanTwist: Chinese Expressions

Some Chinese expressions make little sense when translated word for word. Find out what they really mean, one small discovery at a time. Look at an illustrated literal clue, read a short situation, and choose from four possible meanings. You get two tries. After the reveal, hear the expression in Mandarin and follow a short conversation with English subtitles. YOUR WORDS, READY TO REVISIT Expressions you discover stay in My words. Search in Chinese, pinyin, or English, open a word to see its meaning and illustration, and listen again.
