Hello Chillies, 

I want to reveal the precious meaning behind your nickname! 

 I'm calling you "Chillies" because we are chillin while learning, chillies seems to be the nearest and catch call, so I'm calling you awesome people 'Chillies'! (Do recommend a nickname for me to consider! )

After three chapters of song and movie recommendation, I would start posting lessons with chinese song of the day. So you can listen to the song and learn as well.  

This chapter is dedicated to @YouAtTheBarricades recommendation, hence, the Chinese song of the day is 

Jay Chou - Mojito
