💜 Why I built this app
Not everyone can join my one-on-one or group classes, and even my students need more practice between lessons. So I built Interactive Chinese Podcast for lower-intermediate and intermediate learners: an easy, affordable way to practice Chinese with me 24/7, wherever you are.

Whether you're studying on your own or already learning with me, this app is your daily practice partner. I can't wait to hear you speak! 🎧✨
