  1. This is interesting! At least there's something fun I could watch while learning Chinese . I'm taking a basic course from Preply.com (http://preply.com/en/chinese-by-skype ) by Skype and I was advised by my teacher to watch Chinese-spoken shows. Something like this will definitely be fun to watch. :)
