What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I really like the way he teaches. He explains new words extremely well. His articulation is great. He does dialogues slowly than at normal speed. He partners with a native speaker every step of the way. This is impressive material.

The podcast is very informative and explains each topic in a way that is easy to understand. Therefore I subscribed to the website which has PDFs of the lessons which I also found very helpful, the only thing the PDFs lack are pronunciation for example NiHao is it pronounced knee how or knee ha owe that is the only thing I would suggest adding to the PDFs otherwise I love your lessons.

I was searching far and wide for a podcast that delivers organized English then Chinese phrase-by-phrase translations organized as a lesson around a certain topic, and thankfully found it here. Serge’s lessons cover real world daily conversational topics in the best format I’ve found. The lessons build upon each other and include a manageable amount of new vocabulary each episode that after 100 episodes is substantial and allows one to be firmly conversational in Mandarin. Thank you so much. Keep it up. Really enjoying. Best Chinese passive learning podcast ever!

Very good, I am teaching myself Mandarin, this is a great podcast if you already understand tones and can read pinyin but are not learning characters yet.
