Chinese Around You | Graded HSK Mandarin Podcast 分级中文播客

Melissa Chen

你好!Whether you're saying 'nihao' for the first time or debating China's tech trends in Mandarin – welcome to Chinese Around You, where language meets living culture! 


As a TESOL educator with 10,000+ teaching hours, I’ve seen learners struggle with two things: 


1️⃣ Finding materials that grow with their level (from HSK1 beginners to HSK6+ advanced learners) 

2️⃣ Understanding the ‘why’ behind Chinese habits– not just the language, but the culture that shapes it 


That’s why every episode gives you: 

✅ Multi-level nuggets: HSK words explained through real-life scenarios 

 - Beginners: Key phrases with pinyin & slow pronunciation 

 - Intermediate: Grammar breakdowns & cultural insights 

 - Advanced: Slang, idioms, and deep dives into Chinese thinking 

✅ Culture decoded: From workplace norms to weekend rituals, we explore what makes China tick 

✅ Actionable practice: Tiered challenges for every level (try saying it → use it creatively → debate it)
