About this episode

You thought the abacus was some sort of Chinese percussion instrument and that the guy in the market sign-languaging you number signals was challenging you to a game of rock, scissors, paper.

In this podcast, get back to remedial class and accomplish the feat of relearning all those math formulas you can't even remember in English. Episode link: https://www.chinesepod.com/0839
