李雷有一只小猫，叫小虎。小虎的生活很忙。他需要睡觉和吃饭，有的时候，他也需要捉小老鼠。他觉得他应该找一个助手。小虎找到一只小狗，叫宝贝儿。小虎给宝贝儿工作面试，后来决定雇宝贝儿。李雷回家的时候，看见一只新来的小狗，不知道小狗是谁。他问小虎：“发生了什么事儿？小狗是谁？”小虎回答：“咪咪咪咪咪。”李雷回答：“嗯，你的新助手？下次，你应该先问我再雇佣新助手。”小虎说：“咪咪咪咪咪。”李雷说：“好的，我明白。”
Li Lei had a kitten called Little Tiger, whose life was terribly busy. He always needed to sleep and eat, and sometimes also catch mice. Little Tiger felt he should have an assistant, so he found a puppy called Baby. He gave Baby an interview, and afterwards decided to hire him. When Li Lei returned home, he found a new puppy he didn't know. He asked the kitten, "What's happened? Who is the puppy?" And the kitten answered, "miao". Li Lei replied, "Oh, it's your new assistant? Next time, you should ask me before hiring an assistant." Little Tiger said "miao" and Li Lei replied, "It's ok, I understand."

You may have been surprised on arrival in Shanghai to learn that no-one actually speaks mandarin there. Sure, the locals may call their language Chinese, but it's a bit of a national in-joke at this point. After a few thousand years of frustrated attempts to get directions out of the Pudong New District, no-one else in the country believes them anymore. Which is why it's a good idea to pick up a little Shanghainese if you're planning to be in town. And that's where this podcast comes in.
Most of our advanced shows are entirely in standard mandarin. In this one we use the standard dialect to teach some of the basics of the Shanghai dialect. Join us and in addition to showing the difference between standard mandarin and Shanghai-accented mandarin very clearly, we'll teach you some of the basic phrases you'll need know to lubricate your way through the Pearl of the Orient in the language she prefers to speak.

In this podcast Echo, Liu and 9527 hit our studio for a show about Saturday morning cartoons in China. And if you think they're going to chat about Superfriends or Rocket Robin Hood you're sadly mistaken. Not only is there no English in today's show, there are no non-Asian shows either. So even if you're an advanced student you may want to click through to our vocabulary section to familiarize yourself with the subject matter before listening. Why cartoons? The catalyst for this has been some good news for Liu, who just picked up a job doing voice acting for the new animated edition of The Monkey King set for release later this year. Congratulations Liu. We fully expect everyone in mainland China to know you as "that guy from Popup Chinese" in a couple of years, but don't let that go to your head....
