Learn Chinese with the La La Land Theme Song

YANGYANG CHENG | FEBRUARY 23, 2017

Have you seen the movie La La Land (ài yuè zhī chéng 爱乐之城 / 愛樂之城)? I fell in love with music from the original sountrack and I had to use it to write my next lesson! Here's the song I wrote, I hope you like it! 



I included the Chinese, Pinyin, and English translation below, and I hope you can learn a useful Chinese phrase or two! :) 

- Yangyang

这个 / 這個 (zhè ge):This + generic measure word (ge)
