A calm check-in on study habits. Mindy and Joeru unpack common “NG” (no-good) patterns in Mandarin learning and share small tweaks you can try this week. Real examples, clear reasoning, and practical ideas to make everyday conversations feel smoother.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why memorized words vanish when you speak: no real-life link, not enough sentence practice
- Reading–speaking gap: modality mismatch (visual vs. auditory) and character–speech imbalance
- Classroom vs. real life: teachers decode you; strangers usually won’t
- Feeling “stuck”: timelines too short, goals too big, and low teacher–student alignment
🗣 Listener Challenge (make it interactive):
Vote + intention: Comment with one tweak you’ll try this week, then share your result in the comments or tag @bitesize.chinese in your story!
A) Theme vocab + sentence frames
B) Speaking-first (keep characters ~2–3 lessons behind)
C) Daily native input (10 min)
D) Right-size goal
