We only use Chinese so that you can get used to a full-Chinese context. You can learn words and grammar in context and connect your sentences naturally, just like native speakers.
We cover interesting topics such as language study skills, culture shocks, Chinese society, etc. so that you can acquire Chinese while enjoying interesting content on a comprehensible level.
The host, Qiuyue, is a Chinese native speaker and has been learning several languages. She will create relevant content based on her abundant language learning experience.
