Bus Stop Mandarin, Sky Lantern Wishes, and Ordering in Kunming | Mandarin Listening Podcast

Today’s Listener Mailbag is stacked: Mandarin at the bus stop, writing a sky-lantern wish in Pingxi, ordering dinner in Kunming with zero English, the strange peace of visa lines with a podcast in your ears, and a market auntie gifting a spring onion for luck. Plus: dogs, Edinburgh place names, and whether American English secretly makes more sense. Perfect for immersive Mandarin listening practice - Ula in Mandarin, Tom in English - so you can follow along and pick up real phrases in context.Send your story for a future episode: [email protected] lessons / join the community: mandarinmonkey.com Hosted on Acast.
