Ep 8: Eric Olander: from English to Mandarin Chinese




Changing Scripts: Conversations about Mandarin Chinese with native speakers and learners show

Summary:   Eric Olander, co-host of the China in Africa Podcast: https://chinaafrica-podcast.com/, has been studying and using the Mandarin Chinese language for over 30 years. With this linguistic longevity comes language wisdom, a realistic perspective and sensible tools to give those of us studying the language a boost. His viewpoint on Mandarin Chinese can help people who are not able or interested in learning Mandarin Chinese understand the juxtaposition of this communication tool with the culture it is so intimately connected to as well as its' role globally now and in the future.      Where to find the Changing Scripts Podcast: Changing Scripts Podcast website & Changing Scripts YouTube Channel Subscribe to Changing Scripts Podcast on : iOS , Android devices, RSS Join our email list: for weekly podcasting updates Support the podcast: Virtual Expats Amazon Affiliate Link and Traveling Mailbox Affiliate Link  --------------------------------------------------- Music courtesty of Damon Castillo, https://www.damoncastillo.com/ Song "I Hope You Figured It Out" on the "Mess of Me" album.
