HSK 3-4 | 为了省钱，你愿意住多小？| How Small Would You Live to Save Money? | Real Mandarin Podcast

To save money, how small of a place are you willing to live in? This is a very realistic question. In this episode of the Real Mandarin Podcast, we use an authentic Chinese conversation to discuss small houses, big houses, rent, commuting, and location. We chatted about five real stories: a friend who lives in a 25-square-meter place to save money, a colleague who rents an 80-square-meter place for their family, and an older cousin who moved into a smaller place to travel. You will hear many practical words, such as square meters (平方米), commute (通勤), location (地段), worth it (值得), would rather (宁愿), and "actually, it depends on the situation" (其实要看情况). This is a listening practice suitable for HSK 3-4. The speaking speed is natural and the sentences are not difficult, but the content is very authentic. You can learn as you listen, or review along with us. If you want to hear more real Chinese conversations, please subscribe to the channel and check out our other videos and playlists.
