你好！Whether you're saying 'nihao' for the first time or debating China's tech trends in Mandarin – welcome to Chinese Around You, where language meets living culture!  As a TESOL educator & CATTI-certified translator with 10,000+ teaching hours, I’ve seen learners struggle with two things:  1️⃣ Finding materials that grow with their level (from HSK1 beginners to HSK6+ advanced learners)  2️⃣ Understanding the ‘why’ behind Chinese habits– not just the language, but the culture that shapes it  That’s why every episode gives you:  ✅ Multi-level nuggets: HSK words explained through real-life scenarios   - Beginners: Key phrases with pinyin & slow pronunciation   - Intermediate: Grammar breakdowns & cultural insights   - Advanced: Slang, idioms, and deep dives into Chinese thinking  ✅ Culture decoded: From workplace norms to weekend rituals, we explore what makes China tick  ✅ Actionable practice: Tiered challenges for every level (try saying it → use it creatively → debate it) Find the podcast transcript with Pinyin and English at https://www.patreon.com/ChineseAroundYou I teach one on one and group Chinese lessons here on italki: https://www.italki.com/en/teacher/5041997 To buy me a coffee, visit https://ko-fi.com/chinesearoundyou
