I love that old song, when I use the tread mill. But it’s really distracting as background music.

hi benny! i just wanted to make sure about the pronunciation of “Qu”. Though spelled with a “Q”, it sounds like you are saying “choo” when you are talking with the taxi driver. Should i say it with a Q’ sound, or a “ch” sound for the verb “to go”? Fei chang shie shie Benny!!*

Linda. you are right. In Pinyin, Q is not the same pronunciation as it in English. It sounds like “ch”, just like you said.

Hen hao! Linda.

A thoughtful video. How embarrassing it would be if I got in a taxi and didn’t know what to say! What does “Hi Shi Fu” mean?

Now you know what to say, :)

“Hi shi fu” means “Hey, driver”.

“shi fu” means “driver”. You can also say “si ji”, but it’s kind of formal.

To : Benny

LOL and I thought you said sifu=master to the driver ^{^. Was already wondering about that.

by the way, why is Xintiandi so popular? I mean what is it anyway? A monastry or something? Or a shoping city or what? ^}

Xiexie for the great lesson!
