Thanks for including the pinyin! Do you have audio to listen to the furniture in Chinese.
Hi Alex,
Sorry to say we don't have audio for these, BUT, check out of FREE CHINESE CLASSES on LTL-Online-School.com and you can ask the teacher to show you how to say them! #LifeHack!
I'm truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Excellent work!
Thanks Julius! Just the LTL Marketing Team and our great eye for detail ;)
