Episode 12 - Intermediate: Chinese Idiom 成語：一箭雙鵰 | 成语：一箭双雕

Moving house can change more than just your address! In this foundation-level episode, Christine shares how a simple move turned into something much bigger: she not only settled into a new environment, but also reconnected with relationships that were nearly lost.

This real-life story brings the classic idiom 「一箭雙鵰」 (yī jiàn shuāng diāo)—“one arrow, two eagles”—to life. You’ll hear the famous historical tale behind the phrase and learn how it describes doing one action that leads to two good results.

From clearing clutter and rekindling friendships to understanding the ancient archery story, you’ll see how this idiom still perfectly fits modern life.

Perfect for learners around HSK 3–4, same as our Get Speaking Mandarin 3 course!
