Recommend Level: CEFR A2 (and above) Please preview the keywords of this week on Facebook before you listen to this episode. https://www.facebook.com/howto.zhongwen The concept of ghosts is a taboo in traditional Chinese culture. People avoid mentioning ghosts in daily life, especially in the 7th month (the ghost month) of the lunar calendar. However, the character 鬼(guǐ, ghost) is an often-used component in Chinese words. Most of the time, those words are irrelevant to the meaning 'ghost'. In this episode, we will show you some interesting words and phrases which contain the character 鬼. Don't worry, no horrible things in this episode. On the contrary, it's fun and useful. 農曆七月是鬼月,雖然平常我們不喜歡說「鬼」,但有好多詞語都跟「鬼」有關係,而且一點也不可怕呢!一起來聽有趣又有用的,「鬼」!
