Hi everyone, I'm Kang Xin. Welcome to REAL Mandarin!

If you've been learning Chinese for a long time but still can’t understand what people are saying, then this podcast is perfect for you!

I think a lot of Chinese teaching methods today are just copied from how people learn Indo-European languages like English or Spanish. But those methods don’t work well for Chinese, which belongs to the Sino-Tibetan language family. In fact, many expressions you’ve learned might not even show up in a real Chinese person’s daily conversations!

Here, you’ll learn the most authentic and natural Mandarin. Let’s speak REAL Mandarin with real Chinese people!

大家好，我是康辛，欢迎收听真普通话。

如果你觉得学了很久中文还是听不懂别人在讲什么，那么这个播客将特别适合你！

现在的中文教学，我觉得都是照搬英语、西班牙语等印欧语系的学习方法，完全不适合属于汉藏语系的汉语。甚至很多你熟知的用法，也不会出现在中国人的日常表达中，在这里，你将学到最正宗地道的中文普通话，让我一起和真中国人一起，说正普通话。
