    Mastering Mandarin with Lawrence Feldman — Expats On Air – Episode 14

    Chinese is an arduous language to learn and there’s a strategy to take it on. That’s what our guest Lawrence Feldman wrote in his book, ‘Mastering Mandarin: Expert Hacks for Expats or Anyone to Fly from Zero to Fluency with Maximum Efficiency’.  I like to look at this as the learning-Chinese-motivational-episode. Lawrence and I both know what it’s like to go to China without speaking Chinese, but both later got a handle of the language which greatly improved our lives in China. We also discuss that recent article that complains about white guys who speak Chinese.  Check out Lawrence’s book here: https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Mandarin-Fluency-Maximum-Efficiency-ebook/dp/B085ZV63BC/   Lawrence’s website: https://lawrence-feldman.blogspot.com/   Subscribe to Expats On Air on YouTube and follow us elsewhere:  YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCWjP-d2yt0Yicq0LXSR4SgQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/expatsonair/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ExpatsOnAir Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ExpatsOnAir Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/expatsonair  Trovo: https://trovo.live/ExpatsOnAir Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/expats-on-air/id1545076146 PodBean: https://expatsonair.podbean.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/expatsonair   Get the intro music here: https://cruelbuddhist.bandcamp.com/track/commitment-to-coffee Commitment to Coffee by Cruel Buddhist from the Yellow Mountain album.

    Expats On Air – Episode 11: Asia-Based Rapper, Aaron Diaz

    Aaron Diaz has spent several years in Asia honing his songwriting skills and releasing music independently. He’s lived in South Korea, China, and currently resides in Jakarta, Indonesia.  We get into a whole lot of topics regarding expat life in Asia, the global hip hop music scene, and the differences between rappers and multi-genre artists in the hip hop space.  Internet connectivity isn’t the strongest in Indonesia and Diaz cut out a lot on Zoom as a result. Apologies in advance, but it still worked out so I hope you enjoy!    Go follow Diaz here: https://www.instagram.com/d1az_/ https://twitter.com/_d1az_ https://soundcloud.com/aarondiaz3 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpB-rEmye72yr2jo9gvUGiA Snapchat: d1azz   Check out his recent track: “What’s Your Purpose”  https://youtu.be/7UQEQnG3-Xo https://music.apple.com/us/album/east-side-ep/1522842949 https://www.amazon.com/Whats-Your-Purpose-Explicit/dp/B08CRY2DFH   Subscribe to Expats On Air on YouTube and follow us elsewhere:  YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCWjP-d2yt0Yicq0LXSR4SgQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/expatsonair/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ExpatsOnAir Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ExpatsOnAir Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/expatsonair  Trovo: https://trovo.live/ExpatsOnAir Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/expats-on-air/id1545076146 PodBean: https://expatsonair.podbean.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/expatsonair   Get the intro music here: https://cruelbuddhist.bandcamp.com/track/commitment-to-coffee Commitment to Coffee by Cruel Buddhist from the Yellow Mountain album.

    Expats On Air – Episode 9: International School Circuit with Nickolas Harris

    You ever think about working at an international school? In this episode, international school teacher Nickolas Harris shares the ins-and-outs of the international school circuit.  Nickolas and I both went to the American School In Japan (ASIJ) growing up. After finishing college, Nickolas took a short stint at PricewaterhouseCoopers before going on to teach at international schools in Bahrain, Honduras, and on Jeju Island, South Korea.  This episode was a lot of fun to record and I hope it’s helpful for anyone looking to work or send their children to international schools.    Check out Nick’s show, the Tokyo Alumni Podcast: http://www.tokyoalumnipodcast.com/ https://anchor.fm/nick-harris46/episodes/Tokyo-Alumni-Podcast-Episode-1-Jeff-OHarrow-eeqghu https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV6X5hwgraIKRhvaCwhrGYQ https://www.facebook.com/Tokyo-Alumni-Podcast-104203227984792/   Subscribe to Expats On Air on YouTube and follow us elsewhere:  YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCWjP-d2yt0Yicq0LXSR4SgQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/expatsonair/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ExpatsOnAir Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ExpatsOnAir Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/expatsonair  Trovo: https://trovo.live/ExpatsOnAir Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/expats-on-air/id1545076146 PodBean: https://expatsonair.podbean.com/   Get the intro music here: https://cruelbuddhist.bandcamp.com/track/commitment-to-coffee Commitment to Coffee by Cruel Buddhist from the Yellow Mountain album.
