Michael Lavers
About this episode

In this episode, I have a great and casual chat with Zhifei from​ Xiaogua Chinese about language learning, using flashcards, the best mindset for learners, getting a good English accent, and much more! 

We also talk about my own Chinese learning methods and share ideas on the best way to learn two languages at once.

There's a lot of useful information in this long episode, and I hope you find it useful listening practice for your English too.
