The difference between 以前(yǐ qián) and 以后(yǐ hòu) is very clear from last episode, 以前 means before, so we often see it in a past tense sentence, and 以后 is the opposite, but have you ever wondered that does 以前 always refer to the past, and does 以后 always refer to the future?

My Chinese friend Han and I finally had the chance to sit down for a conversation. He had asked to be on my podcast to share his experience as my student, but with our busy schedules and limited time outside of class, we kept putting it off or rescheduling for the past six months. Finally, we found a mutual time that worked, so here’s the podcast!

I hope this episode speaks to those of you who’ve ever felt stuck learning English, who know the words but struggle to speak, who feel the pressure of exams but don’t feel confident in real conversations. Because learning a language isn’t just about passing tests, it’s about unlocking opportunities, building connections, and having the freedom to express yourself in any situation. If you’ve ever wished for that kind of confidence, this episode is for you!
