Last week I took part in five glorious days of 100% pure Mandarin immersion on our Summer Camp. This was my 1st experience of total language immersion for 5 days. In this blog post, I’ll reveal what it was like & give five key takeaways from the trip!😊 https://t.co/Y23BJ4m59A

On today’s podcast, I speak to James Wong a British model with an incredible story of overcoming adversity to become fluent in Chinese. Despite severe hearing loss he reached a high level in spoken Chinese & mastered tones. Check it out here https://t.co/jy5whyV191

@MischaWilmers Interesting content!

[Mischa Wilmers @MischaWilmers]

I wrote about one of the longest standing debates in the lang learning community: when should you start speaking? Some argue you should speak from day 1 while others encourage learners to wait months before output. I outline my take on this divisive issue
