This week’s podcast episode (number 196) is a reader and listener Q&A, where I answer three questions about listening comprehension in Chinese.
This time, I’ve picked questions about understanding people beyond your teacher, when you should and shouldn’t use transcripts and subtitles, and why I don’t recommend some popular podcasts.
