In Episode 38 we review what it means to be "fluent" in a language, including two important distinctions between "real life fluency" and "test-taking" fluency.

We take a look at the campus bookstore and what they have in store (literally!)

A visit to the aviation museum in Changping district.

And what is a TiaoXiu (调休) and why do you have to make up work days in China?
