In this episode, we explore the hidden meanings of numbers in Chinese culture — and why certain numbers appear in love messages, memes, and even marketing campaigns. You’ll learn how 520 means “I love you,” 555 means crying, and how numerology influences communication in daily life and online. On the grammar side, we’ll focus on the measure word 次 (cì) — essential for talking about how many times something has happened or will happen. Whether you’re sharing how many times you’ve been to China or asking someone how often they visit a place, this episode gives you the tools to speak naturally and fluently.
