About this lesson
The climb goes from a plain beginner complaint about price to the joking, slangy way friends really say it.
How to practise
- Watch each rung's card: the level, when to use it, and the phrase with its pinyin and English.
- Repeat every rung out loud in the 跟读 · Your turn pause, from HSK 1 up to the native way.
- Then climb it in one go, and comment which rung you're on.
