Looking for a fun way to learn Chinese? In my experience, nothing beats immersing yourself in the language through music and TV dramas. A must-watch is the 2016 Chinese drama Love O2O (微微一笑很倾城), which seamlessly blends real-life romance with an online gaming world.
Even if gaming isn’t your thing (it’s not mine either!), you can easily skip those scenes. I found this approach helpful while still enjoying the heartwarming love story at the drama’s core.

摘一顆蘋果等你從門前經過
Zhāi yī kē píngguǒ děng nǐ cóng mén qián jīngguò
I’ll pick an apple and wait for you to pass by the front door.
送到你的手中幫你解渴
Sòng dào nǐ de shǒu zhōng bāng nǐ jiě kě
I’ll give it to you to quench your thirst.
像夏天的可樂 像冬天的可可
Xiàng xiàtiān de kělè, xiàng dōngtiān de kěkě
Like Coke in summer, like hot cocoa in winter…
你是對的時間 對的角色

你的小小情緒對我來說

Your little moods mean a lot to me.
我也不知為何 傷口還沒癒合

用最浪漫的副歌
Yòng zuì làngmàn de fùgē
To the most romantic chorus,
你也輕輕的附和
Nǐ yě qīngqīng de fùhè
you softly sing along.
眼神堅定著我們的選擇
Yǎnshén jiāndìng zhe wǒmen de xuǎnzé
