Last week I attended a five-day immersive Mandarin Retreat Summer Camp as a lead organiser.
A group of 14 of us, including learners, organisers volunteers, and native tutors got together in Cheddar, in the south-west of England, and spoke nothing but Chinese for five days straight.
I recently blogged about this experience. And while it’s all still fresh in my mind, I decided to get my friend and fellow Chinese educator, Will Hart, to chat about the experience.
Will also attended the retreat as an organiser and in this episode, we chat about what the experience of deep immersion was like and how we plan to make these camps bigger and better in the future.
