Gene here. Chinese adoptee who couldn't speak Mandarin when I first returned to China.
Twelve months later: conversational fluency achieved. Now documenting the ongoing push toward full fluency and literacy - while facing the challenge of returning to America in two months and losing the language.
Raw interviews with other Mandarin learners at every stage. Chronological documentation of what actually happens when people try to break through intermediate plateaus and maintain progress.
No teaching, just authentic stories. New episodes document real conversations as they happen.
