On today’s podcast, I speak to language teacher and podcast host, Isaac Myers.
Isaac has a fascinating Mandarin learning backstory which involves extensive travel around Taiwan and China and working at Google training language models for speech recognition systems.
Through his podcast, Mandarin from the Ground Up, he teaches Chinese using the same imitation techniques we all used to learn our first language.
All of which gives him a unique perspective and makes his insights on learning Chinese well worth listening to.

If you’re studying Mandarin and are struggling with your speaking skills, our free Peak Mandarin newsletter shares practical tips on how to become fluent in Chinese. It’s based on exactly what my friend Will Hart and I did to teach ourselves the language while working and studying full-time in the UK.
Subscribe to the newsletter on this link and we’ll also send you my 50-page eBook, Lessons from a Chinese Learning Phenomenon, telling the story of how we went from zero to fluency. And how you can too!
