RealLife Chinese for Beginners

Whether you're starting from scratch or just looking to polish your skills, RealLife Chinese has got you covered.

Each episode brings you into the heart of everyday Chinese conversations, happening naturally between two native speakers.

Along the way, we break down key vocabulary, making the language feels more like a friend you haven't met yet.

To really make the most of it, we suggest an immersive approach: listen to the conversation with the transcript, then without it, shadowing along as you go. It's a method designed to help you internalize the rhythms and sounds of Chinese.

And if you believe in what we're doing here, consider supporting us on Patreon. Your support not only unlocks access to all the transcripts but also helps keep this podcast alive, bringing the world just a little bit closer, one word at a time.

Stay with us.
