Learning Chinese tongue twisters (绕口令, ràokǒulìng) makes for great language practice. Learning tongue twisters with native Chinese speakers in real-life situations makes it even better. In this CLI series, CLI's own Zicong 老师 (lǎoshī, teacher) ventures through the scenic pathways and lively downtown sidewalks of Guilin to see who can master Mandarin's trickiest word games.
