SLV - PODCAST - September 29, 2024

In this week's episode of the Language Vlog Podcast, I provide some updates on my language learning journey, focusing primarily on Mandarin Chinese and Russian.

We discuss the intricacies of living in China, exploring the unique nature of Chinese national holidays. I recap the past week's live streams and address the technical challenges faced, such as using a spectrogram to analyze Chinese tones and troubleshooting internet issues during broadcasts.

Highlights include a detailed look at my Russian extensive listening practice, thoughts on English teaching overseas, and my gaming experience with 'Black Myth: Wukong'.

Tune in for an engaging conversation on language learning, overcoming technical difficulties, and living as an expat.
