On today’s episode, I’m going to play my speech, which I recently made at the Asiaglot conference in Taipei.

The speech was called The Inconvenient Truth About Mandarin Learning. In it, I talk about my own Mandarin Learning Journey and some of the methods that I initially followed, which were a combination of traditional methods and also comprehensible input methods.

I go into how these methods worked to varying degrees, but there were certain obstacles that I came up against which I wasn’t able to find any solutions to when turning to traditional education or comprehensible input.

And I go on to talk about what the solutions that I did find involved, how that finally enabled me to reach conversational fluency and the main lessons Mandarin learners and educators take from this.

The audio recording quality of this speech that I gave at Asiaglot was not the best, but I’ve tried to salvage it a little bit through some editing. So hopefully it’s good enough that you can hear it pretty clearly. Enjoy!
