421 - Are Most YouTube Polyglots Lying?
🤥 From people claiming to learn a language in 24 hours to those shouting that "all YouTube polyglots are FAKE!", the online language learning world is fraught with controversy and vitriol.

420 - JJsays (雪莲说) on How to Learn Chinese, Conquer Insecurities & Figure Out What Methods Work For You
Julian (a.k.a. "JJ") is the woman behind two popular YouTube channels: 1) JJsays - 雪莲说 (where she shares Chinese language learning tips and videos), and 2) JJsings (where you can hear her singing in Mandarin together with her mother). JJ is an extremely passionate language learner, and I really enjoyed digging into her methods and philosophy. We discuss the challenges of overcoming insecurities, how the Dunning-Kruger effect manifests in language learning, how she learned Chinese characters, and much more.

Customer Reviews
Ms
Olly is really encouraging and has some great ideas.
Thanks Olly!
I’ve been traveling around Europe this summer and decided to start learning Italian while away!
I found a great beginners course and was feeling lost after I had completed it until I stumbled across Olly!
I was inspired by his exceptional knowledge and experience.
He’s been there, done that and is handing out T shirts to everyone!
The podcasts are so helpful and insightful.
I love Olly’s book of short stories in Italian!
Since finding Olly’s resources, I feel so much more confident in myself and I am positive about the path I’m following.
I’m seeing the benefits in my language learning so quickly and more importantly I am enjoying it!
Thanks Olly, you are a great help!
great podcast to improve language learning
Interesting & very useful resource for language learners, highly recommend Olly’s podcast to anyone interested in how and why to learn another language
