Episode #54 - Italian rapper Caparezza

Many paintings and statues are of nudes - people with no clothes on.
So why did they start covering their naughty bits with fig leaves, which is a really BAD idea?
("Naughty bits" - I will leave you to your imagination as to what they are. There are also hundreds of words to describe them, from biological terms to very weird slang expressions!)

The Social Evolutionary

Why do naked people in art wear fig leaves? It's scary!

This episode introduces three idioms that use the word fire. Listen to the examples to hear how to use them. Please send me a message if you would like a copy of the audio script.

In this week's Chillchat Baiwei and Karen discussed Karen's favorite kind of Chinese riddle - 歇后语 (xiē hòu yǔ). Besides explaining what it is, we also listed some fun examples to see how it works. As usual, it's a fun but challenging language game for Baiwei, but he enjoys it. Hope you guys enjoy it as well!
