I love learning languages!
Language learning notebook for polyglots.

Small update for Meowbrown!

I’m currently prepping for my official teaching certification for Mandarin/Chinese, so expect more Mandarin-related notes for the next couple of months. Hope I can get that certificate on my first try ❤️

I just wanted to give a heads-up so the blog doesn’t feel unrecognizable. I’ll still be posting my other language notes. It’s still Meowbrown, just with a new goal added to the mix. Thanks for sticking around!

Mandarin podcasts to listen to for the whole day

Experimenting with the idea of listening to different podcasts at different times of the day.

I listen on Apple Podcasts but I think all of them can also be found on Spotify.

Morning Commute – 還可中文 Haike Mandarin

Multiple hosts on the show, so it’s more of a conversation and also talks about recent events. Also has some episodes dedicated to learning a new phrase.

Lunch Break – Learn Taiwanese Mandarin With Miss Lin

I really like Miss Lin’s voice! Talking speed is moderate and calm. Miss Lin also has a YouTube channel.

Home Commute – 大人的 Small Talk

This podcast isn’t for the purpose of learning Mandarin. The topics it discusses are around career/personal development, which gives a nice mental boost after a day in the office.

Bedtime – Ms. Chin’s Bedtime Mandarin

Relatively new podcast. It’s like looking into Ms. Chin’s diary while she is writing it. Filled with personal thoughts which feels okay to fall asleep in the middle of it. Very calming and a nice for language immersion.

I really like podcasts nowadays due to I can do other stuff while listening. (Well except for the bedtime one??? But I’m also doing “sleeping”)
