Intermediate | The Drug Dealer

ChinesePod - Intermediate ·

2023/07/26

The Departed was a pretty good film, although we have an office-wide dispute over whether it's better than Infernal Affairs. Before you settle down to watch the Hong Kong original in its glorious Mandarin dub though, we recommend checking out this podcast to learn the Chinese of the streets. Otherwise the plot won't make much sense. Bonus points if you can spot our mole ahead of time. Episode link: https://www.chinesepod.com/0573
