Welcome to the podcast! Today's guest is Amanda, better known as ⁠"Miss Panda,"⁠ a renowned expert in Mandarin language instruction.



Amanda boasts over 30 years of experience teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) and Mandarin Chinese.



She's also a published author, consultant, and the creative force behind the popular ⁠"Let's Learn Mandarin Chinese with Miss Panda!" ⁠album, which has helped introduce Mandarin Chinese to a global audience.



Throughout her career, Amanda has made significant contributions to the field of language acquisition, presenting her insights at conferences worldwide.



Her dedication extends beyond the classroom; she actively assists various educational institutions in developing their Chinese language and culture programs.



In this episode, we'll explore Amanda's inspiring journey as a Mandarin teacher, her innovative teaching methods, and the impact she's had on countless language learners.



I began by asking her how that journey all began.
