Field notes
The lessons move from a Chinese expression to its cultural reference, implied meaning, and use in an original dialogue. Six samples cover terms including 邪修, a questionable shortcut that somehow works, and 班味, the office aura that follows someone home. Each sample is labeled by subject area and estimated reading time, while the downloadable starter pack is printable HTML that works offline without signup.
