Cell Phone Savvy (Intermediate)

In this episode, Vicky and I talk more about cell phone technology and Apps. We narrow in on vocabulary about Notification Settings, silencing or turning them off, and Smart Voice Assistants in China (like Xiao Du).

If you have other questions, you can also ask the smart voice assistant, which can also help you answer them. 奶奶: 好的，我现在就去试试看！(Hǎo de, wǒ xiànzài jiù qù shì shìkàn) Okay, I’ll give it a try right now!
