Why I'm Learning Chinese – Slow English ...

Tayanna Ortiz
About this episode

Welcome back to the Slow English Podcast!

In this episode, I’m answering a question many of you have asked: Why am I learning Chinese?

I’ll share the story of how I started, what motivates me, and what I’ve learned from the process. This episode is perfect for intermediate to upper-intermediate (B2+) English learners who want to practice listening while hearing real stories, real emotions, and useful vocabulary.

I speak slowly and clearly to help you understand—and I’ll use natural English that native speakers really say.

🟡 Topics: language learning, motivation, personal stories, Chinese, cultural curiosity

🟢 Level: B2+ (Intermediate and above)

🟣 Great for: practicing listening, learning real-life vocabulary, and connecting with English through storytelling
