    Transcripts do not have English translations
    No matter how advanced your Chinese is, it’s still helpful to have English translations when learning a language.

    IT'S SO GOOD THO
    this podcast is so good, it does go pretty fast but it's definitely easy to catch up. Although it's a very hard language to learn it feels so easy with this podcast, it goes from easy to harder. Overall very good, very nice, very easy. Definitely would recommend!!!

    Good bridge from Intermediate to Advanced Mandarin
    I love this podcast! I am about an advanced low ACTFL level in my Mandarin and have been trying to enhance my vocabulary and 听力 by watching CCTV. While interesting to watch, that approach has got me nowhere because I only understand about 20-30% of what is going on. I really enjoy this podcast because it’s at a really good “bridge” level. I get most of what is going on so I don’t get frustrated and quit and I still get exposed to new stuff. It is great listening practice. Thanks for making such a high quality program! 多谢 🙏

    Excellent podcast for upper intermediate to advanced learners
    Brilliant podcast with interesting topics, and excellent accompanying transcripts that are extremely beneficial for improving your Mandarin listening and reading skills. This podcast is probably best aimed at HSK5+ level learners who already have solid fundamentals and vocabulary (maybe 2500+ words). Lots of work goes into them preparation for each episode, and it shows. The speaking pace is natural and clear making it easy to focus on learning. The length of each episode is perfect for studying a useful amount of material without being overwhelming. Highly recommended. Thanks for creating such a useful resource!

    Best podcast for improving from intermediate to advanced levels
    I really love this podcast. I am an American born Chinese guy who grew up speaking some basic mandarin at home but needed to improve my vocabulary to have conversations as an adult in the working world. There are very few Mandarin podcasts that are geared towards intermediate Mandarin learners looking to improve to native speaker level. Most podcasts are way too basic and assume you have zero mandarin background. Jiajia, the podcast creator is a teacher by training and it shows in the way she organizes and designs each episode. She manages to throw in complex sentence structures and advanced vocabulary, idioms in a very natural way, the way a native speaker actually uses these phrases. In addition, she does an excellent job writing each episode’s companion transcription which includes more detailed descriptions of the most challenging/idiomatic phrases. Finally, her Mandarin pronunciation is perfect and the cadence at which she speaks is extremely natural but at a much more understandable pace than listening to say, Chinese news or talk shows. I have been amazed at how much my listening and reading/writing skills have improved during the 4-5 months I’ve been listening to this podcast. Thanks Jiajia for doing a great job; keep up the great work!

    You Learn a Lot
    I have proficient Chinese speaking abilities (native English speaker here with Chinese heritage) and I’m so glad I stumbled upon this podcast! I’m learning about idioms, stories important to the culture, practical living, etc. and I’ve downloaded many of the episodes so that I can listen to them over and over again to learn more Chinese.
