🛍️ 顺便 (shùnbiàn) — by the way; while you're at it; while you're there; on one's way

顺便 is an adverb used when you do an additional task while already doing something else.
The extra action is usually convenient and doesn't require a separate trip or much extra effort.

顺便 often implies:
• since I'm already there...
• while I'm doing this...
• might as well...

🏙️ Last week, our students joined a Suzhou Creek City Walk with teacher Jane :)

While walking through old Shanghai, they learned about the history behind the buildings, practiced Chinese together, and experienced the city beyond the classroom🌿

It was a fun way to use Chinese in real life!🗣️

At SN Mandarin, we organize monthly cultural activities to help students explore China while improving their Chinese naturally ❤️
