5. The Ugly Duckling - 丑小鸭 chǒu xiǎo yā

Simple Stories in Chinese

Hi, nihao!

I'm Mabel who is an online Chinese Tutor.

Welcome to my Simple Stories in Chinese podcast, a podcast where I narrate short/simple stories with a mix of Chinese and English. These are great for beginners and can help intermediate Chinese students improve too.

I created this podcast because, after being asked by my students for podcasts to help them learn Chinese, I realized that there aren't all that many. So, I created my own. 

Below is a running list of all the podcast episodes. I hope you enjoy it!

Today's story is one of the classic stories and it's one of them I loved in my childhood. It had been searching for how he was. Where does he fit in? That’s the same question I have been asking myself, and I wish that one day I would find my place just like the ugly duckling - 丑小鸭 chǒu xiǎoyā.

And the transcript you can find it on my website: chinesewithmabel.com
