你好！Whether you're saying 'nihao' for the first time or debating China's tech trends in Mandarin – welcome to Chinese Around You, where language meets living culture!
As a TESOL educator & CATTI-certified translator with 10,000+ teaching hours, I’ve seen learners struggle with two things:
1️⃣ Finding materials that grow with their level (from HSK1 beginners to HSK6+ advanced learners)
2️⃣ Understanding the ‘why’ behind Chinese habits– not just the language, but the culture that shapes it
That’s why every episode gives you:
✅ Multi-level nuggets: HSK words explained through real-life scenarios
- Beginners: Key phrases with pinyin & slow pronunciation
- Intermediate: Grammar breakdowns & cultural insights
- Advanced: Slang, idioms, and deep dives into Chinese thinking
✅ Culture decoded: From workplace norms to weekend rituals, we explore what makes China tick
✅ Actionable practice: Tiered challenges for every level (try saying it → use it creatively → debate it)
