201. “I Need a Dictionary to Understand Myself!‪”‬ Mandarin Blueprint

Luke here. In this week’s episode, we delve into the struggles and breakthroughs of learning Mandarin. It's natural to feel overwhelmed and discouraged at times, but we're here to guide you on how to appreciate the language through immersion. We've had students who have become so immersed that they have needed a dictionary to understand their own thoughts in Chinese. Consistent practice is key, and even just 30 minutes a day can make a significant difference. As a language learner myself with a busy life, I share my personal experiences on how to make language learning a priority. Tune in for valuable insights and inspiration to fuel your language-learning journey.
