This is really helpful. Thanks for taking the time to respond!
Hi, big fan of you guys!
Can you give a Chinese pod lesson teaching us how to eat with shop sticks?
Ah another. Can you give a pod about choosing funny Chinese names for us, westerners?
And for last, a pod about what Chinese people think about Brazil (like, it is a forever party place? Carnaval? Soccer?)?
I am very very happy for finding the Chinese pod a year ago!
A big hug

Hi!
Other than listen to Chinese Pod, my second favourite method for trying to tune into new words is listening to music.
I’d like to know who your favourite Mandarin speaking music artists are and why?

Hey! I love ChinesePod! There are so many lessons/topics, I can always find something interesting to listen to.
I have 2 questions:
-
Say It Right really helped me get past some of my fears of pronunciation but I still struggle saying or distinguishing some sounds. Perhaps a lesson or two on some of the sounds that people typically struggle with? I would love that review.
-
What are your favourite success stories (big or small) from your users?
And for something funny… I’d love to see you do one of the typical silly videos like you see on youtube (in Mandarin, of course).
1 – eat terrible things
2 – the jellybean challenge
3 – the “boyfriend” challenge
Something where we see you having fun interacting in Mandarin (rather than a lesson!)
Hello fellow 台北ers! I too used to live in Mainland China and came to this potato-shaped island for language study and now for graduate school. Are there any plans for a Taipei meetup in the near future? ChinesePod fans, 聯合起來!

When it comes to language exchange, what is the best methods of getting the most out of them?
Should I just be more focused on attempted chit chat or reading to my language exchange buddy to see if they understand what I said or…?
I’d like a video introduction of each of your cats please!
What is your favourite meal to cook at home?
What is the general oppinion of Germany and the EU in Taiwan and what are your personal stereotypes.
Do you think we will solve intelligence in our life time and maybe upload our brains into computers to become effectively immortal?
Do you like milk tea? (I love it)
Also I dare you all to read the following German sentences in a German accent: “Ich frohlocke und jauchze beim Chinesisch Lernen!”, “Wenn ich mal groß bin, möchte ich eine Sternschnuppensammlung haben.”, “Gwylem sieht so süß aus, wenn er Chinesisch unterrichtet!”
Constance, how often does Fiona need your help to learn something? Am I going to need a personal tutor forever :o ?

For Gwilym, I’ve been learning Chinese in my spare time for several years, but I can’t seem to get over the intermediate hump. Do you have any advice for maintaining progress and motivation when you don’t have the momentum of studying Chinese full-time?

Hey guys! I just LOVE your shows, and since I try to stay a little far from the traditional textbooks, I would like to know what does Gwilym thinks about learning chinese through comics.
Hi, Fiona, Constance and Gwilym. What did you guys do before ChinesePod?

Hello ChinesePod Team,
Just allow me a little off-topic because I love you guys 
I arrived here through a Facebook Ads Link. In which you state the source as "MailChimp"in your UTM parameters, which I guess you are using for your email marketing. So your stats might be off on that particular campaign.
End of the off-topic, Keep up the good work!

What kind of music could I listen to that would improve my language learning? Do you know any songs that might help with learning basic things (from pop music to nursery rhymes, anything that could help me as an intermediate student)?
Challenge to Gwilym: Introduce yourself in Chinese for one minute (no english), speak Chinese as much as you can, how old are you, where do you live, what are your hobbies, what can you say about Fiona and Constance, ChinesePod and Taiwan.
Challenge to Fiona: Recite the “Lion-Eating Poet in Stone Den” 施氏食狮史, It is a famous poem that become viral on Facebook
Challenge to Constance: Sing your favorite English song.
Suggestion: If they can do some viral online challenges such as Spicy Noodle Challenge (not necessarily the korean brand, the chinese brand can do)
