Susan is visiting her friend for Spring Festival. Let's see how a Chinese family celebrates this holiday.

Susan accidentally runs into her friend's family members in the street. Not knowing who they are, she is given the wrong directions and heads further away from the house.

There are two ways to say hello in Chinese: "ni hao," the informal way, and "nin hao," the manner that shows respect.

After receiving the wrong directions, Susan is now lost and needs to find her way to her friend's home.

Although Susan has finally found her way, her friend's family mistakes her for another person.

Things get weirder when Susan gets mistaken for Xiao Wei's girlfriend.

When Mai Miao returns home, everything finally becomes clear.

After Mai Miao introduces Susan to her family, they happily celebrate the New Year.

Miao's uncle decides to treat their American visitor, Susan, in a "diplomatic" fashion.

Miao and Susan play a prank on Xiao Yong, making him believe that Miao has undergone a transformation.

"Bài Nián" is a term for the Spring Festival tradition of paying visits to family and friends.

While saying blessings is another Chinese Spring Festival tradition, one has to be careful of the blessings he or she chooses!

When Miao's uncle accidentally gets drunk in an attempt to keep up his image, how will his image fare?

Although getting drunk can be fun, it just might get in the way of one's attempt to convey a positive image.

When adjectives are used as predicates in Chinese, there are three forms: affirmative, negative and interrogative.

People often do crazy things when they are drunk. What kind of show have you put on in that state?

With Susan staying with them for Chinese New Year, Miao's family feels a bit unsure how to act in front of the foreign guest.

On their way home from the temple fair, Mai and Susan meet Mai's neighbor, Sister Liu.

There are different ways to ask someone his or her name. For people who are older than us, "nin" should be used, while "ni" should be used for younger people.

Eating dumplings with different types of fillings is a traditional Chinese New Year activity.

A tradition of Chinese New Year is to eat dumplings with family but there's also another tradition within the dumplings. Can you guess what it is?

Coins are traditionally incorporated into the Chinese New Year dumplings with a symbolic meaning.

Miao's family is shocked when Susan says she'll stay at their house longer.

Since she's planning on becoming independent from her family, Susan will be staying with Miao's family long-term.
