Last time we discussed ‘sicknesses’. Today we are talking about an almost equally annoying topic which is ‘learning Chinese’. All of the tone struggles, countless characters and diverse accents can sometimes really give Chinese learners the headache. Let’s talk it all through and hopefully it eases up our frustration. 

Note: This podcast is intended for language learning ONLY. Not for promoting or criticizing any political party or ideology. Let’s keep it friendly and accessible to all :)

Also, all of the experiences are the hosts’ own experiences so please do your own research if you need more information.
