    Episode 464 - Pizza Walk, School Systems and Finding Your Child’s Passion

    We’re back on another Friday walk, this time heading to buy pizza for the kids before their disco. Along the way we talk about rats, squirrels, Dungeons & Dragons, steak names in Mandarin, private and public schools, and the differences between education in Taiwan and the UK. We also discuss how children discover their interests, whether schools should focus more on individual passions, and what parents can do to support their kids’ happiness and future choices.

    Can we pull this off?

    Welcome back to the Mandarin Monkey Podcast episode 461. This week, we dive into a big idea: what if we hosted a Mandarin Monkey live immersion event in the UK? We talk through what that could look like — a full day of Chinese-speaking activities, games, food, and socialising — designed to feel fun, relaxed, and genuinely immersive, not like a traditional classroom. Along the way, we also chat about: how realistic a one-day Mandarin immersion event actually is the challenges of organising venues, logistics, and activities ideas for games, karaoke, VR, food tasting, and interactive learning how AI is becoming part of daily life, work, and creativity what it’s like talking to AI (and when it gets a bit weird…) why different AI voices and personalities feel so different new teachers joining Mandarin Monkey plans to improve our booking system and website This episode is a mix of brainstorming, behind-the-scenes, and everyday life, as we figure things out in real time. If you’d be interested in joining a Mandarin Monkey live event, let us know. Thanks for listening. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    The Final Episode | We Are Finally Saying Goodbye To The Podcast

    We are finally saying goodbye to the podcast. We have been doing this since 2018! Made so many awesome friends along the way and had so much fun. But now its time we call it a day. We started with a microphone on a bedside table in our bedroom and ended up in a full studio, its been a long and arduous journey. We want to say thank you to everyone who made this possible. The community will continue! Every monkey worth their salt will still be on the front lines learning Mandarin. We love you all! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  8. We Tried Planning Lapland in Mandarin… It Got Expensive Fast | Ep 457

    We Tried Planning Lapland in Mandarin… It Got Expensive Fast | Ep 457

    We started planning a simple trip to Lapland… and somehow ended up booking reindeer rides, elf school, glass igloos, and possibly bankruptcy. In this episode, we talk (and argue) through planning a family trip to Lapland, what we actually want to do vs what we can afford, and how quickly “just a few activities” turns into chaos. Along the way, you’ll hear natural Mandarin and English conversation, real-life vocab, and how we actually think through decisions as a bilingual couple. Also in this episode: – Should podcasts feel like a conversation or a show? – Why talking to the audience vs each other changes everything – Christmas in Lapland… is anything even open? – The reality of planning travel with kids – Wholesome news (with Mandarin vocab you can actually use) If you’re learning Mandarin, this is how it really sounds in real life. No scripts. No slow talk. Just conversation. Key Mandarin you’ll hear: – 募款活動 (fundraising activity) – 太陽能板 (solar panels) – 星星 / 天文學家 (stars / astronomers) If you’ve ever been to Lapland, drop a comment. Tell us what’s actually worth doing… and what’s a waste of money. — Listen, learn, and just enjoy the chaos. New episodes every week. Follow for more real Mandarin. Hosted on Acast.
