Episode 10 – Foundations: Chinese Idiom 成語：一箭雙鵰 | 成语：一箭双雕

Have you ever done just one thing and ended up with two great results?
In this foundation-level episode, you’ll hear a simple story that brings the classic Chinese idiom 「一箭雙鵰」 (yī jiàn shuāng diāo) to life.

Follow Christine as she tells how a single walk turned into both exercise and Chinese practice—the perfect example of “one action, two benefits.”
You’ll also learn how to use this idiom to describe smart, efficient moments in your own daily life.

Perfect for learners around HSK 2–3, the same level as our Get Speaking Mandarin 2 course!
