So happy I came found this podcast!!!

I love Chinese drama and love the sound of mandarin and decided I would love to learn mandarin so I can enjoy these dramas without being caught up in the subs. I have been researching on the best approach to learning mandarin and I am having so much fun just listening to you and your guests. I am able to take away some advice from every episode. Love it!
