On today’s episode, I speak to Kristen, a Mandarin speaker and teacher from Canada.  

Kristen has been learning Chinese since 2013. Like me, she initially began learning outside China, and is full of insights based on her experience of overcoming barriers on the path to spoken Chinese fluency. 

More recently, Kristen turned her attention to helping others learn Chinese, teaching the language through her popular Instagram channel.

And with over 15,000 followers, she’s become well-known within the online Mandarin learning community for her short reels teaching Chinese grammar points, phrases and pronunciation tips. 

My interview with Kristen is full of gems for anyone looking to become a fluent Chinese speaker. In particular, listen out for her tips on learning Mandarin outside the classroom and structuring your learning around your interests.

For anyone interested in checking out her channel, I’ve left a link to it in the description.
