“The content is useful but you need to tell the listeners what tones the vocabulary has.
I don’t understand the use of guests, other than you’re teaching them Chinese and there is some weak link of why they have been asked to be on the show. It would be so much better without the guests.”

“The podcast is very interesting and helpful. I found myself going over the words that I know well just to get the history of the characters and some interesting usage in the past. It allows me to feel the language on different level. Yes, sometimes they talk too much but that’s exactly the time...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening to this podcast for 4 months and just want to say - it’s a waste of time, they don’t speak Chinese, just blablabla in English. There are lots of much better podcasts. Unsubscribed.”
