I listened to this on the drive to school with the kids. I love how ShaoLan dives into the history of the word, explain the roots and how it is relatable to the current world we live in. She interviews an inspirational individual every episode and in turn, teaches them Chinese. I love this concept!

7 minutes is the perfect amount of time for a healthy language snack. ShaoLan makes learning fun and helps reinforce a daily study habit. I’m a fairly new listener and episode 20 is my favorite so far. Funny and useful 😊 Rating individual episodes: E315 Love the comprehensive list of shoe related vocab: 鞋子。皮鞋。布鞋。女鞋。球鞋。男鞋。童鞋。穿鞋子。脱鞋。（take off shoes and also means ”slippers”）， 鞋店。Also, ShaoLan does an excellent job of refocusing the discussion back to 鞋子。👍 Just downloaded and bought the Chineasy app. On first try it looks like a very solid app but honestly I bought it to support this channel which I’ve found immensely useful.❤️

I’ve tried a lot of language learning podcasts, and this is the best by far at breaking down each word and explaining everything. Fantastic!

I’ve been trying to learn Chinese for years. I love the short, topic specific shows that I can listen to in the morning as I’m getting the day started. I always find something useful, interesting, and since I’ve been listening to Chinese for many years, but struggling to really understand it, this show helps me enormously with understanding daily conversations! Thanks so much.
