Great for Intermediate and above
This format of “everyday conversations” with transcripts is great for intermediate and above Chinese students. For the transcripts you can use pop up dictionaries to easily look up definitions. I hope this podcast continues. Thank you!
Really enjoyable!
Just found this podcast and I love it! It is exactly what I needed to continue improving my language skills, and the content is always interesting with good, natural conversation. Thanks!
