The trend we are exploring in this episode is "Nomophobia," a term that blends "no," "mobile," and "phobia." It refers to the modern-day anxiety and fear of being without your mobile phone or unable to use it. We'll discuss how this psychological phenomenon is impacting our daily lives, our focus, and our real-world connections. This is a hot topic in psychology, technology, and culture right now, making it the perfect subject for an English conversation lesson.

All About You

In Chinese, both "jǐ" and "duōshǎo" mean "how much," but they are used very differently when shopping!
	
【Explanation】
“几 (jǐ)”：问小额 (Small Amounts)
Usually for things expected to be under 10 or very cheap (within a few tens).
Pinyin: jǐ kuài qián?
	
“多少 (duōshǎo)”：问大额 (Large/Unknown Amounts)
It can be used for any price, but it's essential when you expect a high price or are unsure of the range.
Pinyin: duōshǎo qián?
	
【例句 / Examples】
场景 A：在路边摊买一瓶水 (At a street stall for water)
🗣️ “老板，这水几块？”(Lǎobǎn, zhè shuǐ jǐ kuài?)
Expectation: It's cheap, maybe 2 or 3 RMB.
	
场景 B：在商场买手机 (In a mall for a phone)
🗣️ “请问，这个手机多少钱？”(Qǐngwèn, zhège shǒujī duōshǎo qián?)
Expectation: It's expensive, maybe thousands.

In this episode we are going to learn 【Language】in Chinese. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
