About this episode

Hi

If you're looking to learn Chinese from scratch, or just want to brush up on your skills, or if you think you are not ready for LCTS yet, RLC for Beginners podcast is perfect for you!

Every episode features a natural Chinese conversation between two native speakers, with key vocabulary explained. To get the most out of it, we recommend listening to the conversation with and without the transcript, so you can shadow along.

Please give a listen and let us know what you think.
