Last night, our 中文老师 (Chinese teacher), the amazing Mark, along with his wife, took us out to dinner. The class consisted of Elementary and Intermediate Chinese for Advanced Beginners, which are both classes for Chinese speakers who cannot really read and write Chinese. The dinner was dubbed "Chinese table," based off of Princeton University's idea of weekly dinners with the Chinese teachers to practice speaking Chinese outside and without the pressures of a classroom setting. Since this isn't the traditional college setting, we had this as a special one time thing. It was a good experience, because we were able to just have a conversation on topics outside of what is in our textbooks, aka we just asked him about him and his wife, which is fine since it uses relevant vocab, such as 高富帅-tall and handsome，一见钟情-love at first sight，and 白头到老, love until old age, right? ;)
