This was just what I was looking for

I studied Chinese about 10 years ago and have recently begun re-learning it. I'm quite busy though and it's hard to dedicate time daily lessons at this point, and I also want to make sure I'm going to stick with it before I commit financially to something like that. I had the idea to just try some immersion for free by listening to this podcast while I am doing non-meeting things at work, kind of in the background. After one day of listening to two podcasts, I woke up the next morning and began remembering all kinds of things I had forgotten from 10 years ago - it definitely is "sinking in" and tapping into the deeper parts of my mind.

Aside from that, it's quite entertaining most of the time, and I enjoy the way it goes back and forth from English to Chinese. I've slowly started to add a few other things into my learning, like the Drops app (5 free minutes of vocab every day), and the more I listen to the podcast the more I am wanting to do - the more I am inspired to continue learning.

If I could make one suggestion for the hosts, I would love if you could provide the website names (or a link somewhere on your website under "resources") for some of the things you all reference. You often talk about good resources to help people learn, but I have had a hard time finding some of those just by Googling - but I would like to find them! Just a thought...

While this podcast probably won't ever just teach you Chinese if you do nothing but listen to it, I think this is a wonderful supplement to other learning you are doing. I've also been doing a Paul Noble audio program through Audible and I was having a hard time remembering some of it when I was "away from" it. Now that I've started listening to this podcast daily, everything I'm learning is sticking better in my memory - I think of it way more often, and it's becoming more natural. And you WILL learn some things just by listening as well.

Thank you for hosting this podcast - I really enjoy it! If you're an English speaker wanting to immerse yourself in more Chinese language, this is a great, free way to do so.

Great show

Helps my mandarin so much! I get the input I need from Ula and the context from Tom. Plus it’s fun.
