0:36 不可思议 To be inconceivable 1:33 幸灾乐祸 Take pleasure in other people's misfortune 2:40 半途而废 To give up halfway 3:36 乘风破浪 to have high ambitions, not be afraid of hardships

I look at Cheng Yu as an interesting & fun break from more disciplined learning and also a way to get insights into Chinese culture. I've defintely heard ban tu er fei before but haven't really internalized it's characters yet. 半途而废 and I am about certain it means "don't give up half-way". I think the best way to teach them is to come up with a four word english equivalent ideally one which rhymes 不可思议 but I can't believe it is an example I just came up with to remember bu ke si yi The toughest part of learning Chinese vocabulary is the complete lack of cognates. All we can do is come up with mnemonics like these. xin zai le huo schadenfreude

This is really good content! the lesson is structured very effectively: reminds me of how they teached these at BLCU速成学院. I appreciate the fact that you are sticking to chinese to explain the 成语 and give examples, minimizing the amount of English spoken. Hearing the explanation in chinese ties the word to other known vocabulary, provides context and greatly strengthens the learning experience. The class is short and effective, the examples are very good for repetition. It is hard to find good quality content for advanced learning, please keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next episode.

Yes! His voice is really smooth and mellow. I used ASMR whispered readings and ramblings in other languages to keep them fresh in my mind, 而 Chinese ASMR content 呢,真的不是去幼儿园的车吧 🙈 Definitely a gap in the market
Your German is excellent, too! Thanks for the great video

Thanks for the video! Just recognized one chengyu while watching iPartment 2!
QUESTION: one of my young friends on WeChat taught me a new Chengyu tonight and asked me to make a sentence or short story. 掩耳盗铃. Considering what is going on in my country right now...😂 You have another idiom I could also easily use, I think. My question, is it “correct” Chinese to use two Chengyu in two consecutive sentences? I want to surprise the boys with some sarcastic, funny description; but I’m unsure if there are any unwritten “rules” about using idioms.
