The emotional reality of learning Mandarin that nobody talks about. I'm Gene, a Chinese adoptee who became conversational in a year and then hit a wall. This podcast is part my own journey, part a platform for other learners to share theirs.

    24: They're Probably Going to Say "Of Course"

    I was terrified to ask my friends if we could speak exclusively in Mandarin. I thought I'd be a burden, but it turns out I was wrong. It's deepened my relationships in new and unexpected ways.

    22: I Decided to Put Tom's Advice into Practice

    I used to have a scarcity mindset, now I have a growth mindset. Maybe because I always felt my Chinese just wasn't good enough. Thanks Tom for believing in me, and in all Chinese learners. I owe you one.

    21: They Inlcuded Me in Their Book

    After therapy, I hosted a book club for Permission to Come Home. One sentence in that book mentioned immigrants, first gen, second gen, AND international transnational adoptees. They included me in their book. I realized this podcast is my way of giving back. Also, I'm pretty social media illiterate and I need help finding people who care about these stories.

    20: 99% Give Up

    I'm a heritage learner, but a different type of heritage learner. I didn't speak Chinese growing up. Yesterday I met a mother whose adopted daughter studied Mandarin for 10 years and gave up. When I started this journey, I knew almost all Chinese adoptees give up, maybe 99%. I know there are a lot of barriers to learning Mandarin, and I keep meeting more heritage learners who share their own struggles. It breaks my heart and I want to help however I can.
