The Chengyu Idioms Video Courses

Learn 100 Chinese Idioms to make your Chinese sound much more like a native speaker. Chinese idioms (成语 chéngyǔ) are short, four-letter phrases that have deep cultural and historical meanings. They use poetic metaphors to convey messages or lessons and are often used in literature and conversation. 

We have 4 different decks containing 25 video lessons that teach idioms relating to:

• Animals
• Numbers
• The Elements
• Culture

Each lesson is less than 5 mins and will give you a quick introduction to the idiom, as well as some example sentences so that you can slip them into daily conversations. The decks and individual idioms do not need to be studied in order, so you can just dive in and pick one that looks interesting.
