The best!
Still love this podcast. Not only has it helped me study Mandarin better, it has also helped me teach my students English better. Loved the most recent episode about dialects. I am in 河南 right now and sometimes if older people want to talk to me they only speak 河南话. So hard. My students ask me if I can speak Henan Hua and if I answer using the one or two words I do know, they laugh uproariously. Funny story, right before I came here, I met a Chinese person in the US and I told her I was moving here and wanted to learn Mandarin and she told me do not learn the Henan accent or I would sound like a thug. I don’t know if she meant Henan Hua or just an accent but it’s pretty funny. I don’t know if I sound like a thug or not: since Covid traveling anywhere in or out of China can be difficult so I haven’t asked anyone not from Henan. Have you guys heard of any other associations with other particular accent? The way we might consider a British accent to be more “refined” for some reason?

And that’s just part 1. Is there someone who’s actually trying to learn Chinese this way and...Read full review »
