Chinese Studio (Chinese: 欢乐汉语)is a 5-minute English radio program that is a Chinese lesson that occurs at the end of each China Radio International broadcast. For example, at the end of China Drive, this program will air.
The Chinese lessons are usually an entertaining dialogue between a non-Chinese male and a Chinese female.
General Theme of the Program
The theme is generally done on a week by week basis with one topic per week and a lesson review on Sundays. For example, if the lesson is about purchasing a car, the words used in the lessons will be focused around that theme for the entire week.
