概要

In episode three of The Learner Journals, Tom speaks with Jemima, a British Mandarin learner, historian, PhD researcher and future Dr. History, about how a Taiwanese Netflix drama unexpectedly started her Mandarin journey.


Jemima began learning Mandarin during lockdown after watching the Taiwanese drama Bromance and falling in love with the sound of the language. Since then, Mandarin has become part of her daily life through classes, graded readers, Taiwanese music, language exchange apps, Mandarin dramas, self-study, and the Mandarin Monkey community.


This episode covers reading as a learning method, why graded readers can be so useful, how routines help language learning stick, the value of Chinesey for characters, why beginners should not skip pinyin and tones, and how using Chinglish can remove the fear of speaking.


A useful listen for Mandarin learners, Taiwanese Mandarin fans, self-study learners, introverted language learners, and anyone who has ever watched one drama on Netflix and accidentally changed the entire direction of their life. As one does.
