You've definitely seen those viral videos. The ones that say Shenzhen is the world's most advanced city, where robots walk on every street, deliver your food, and serve you in restaurants. Millions of people have watched them, and everyone is asking the same question: is it real?

Thanks for being here. This podcast is where stories, language, and connection meet. Whether you’re here to learn Chinese, find calm, or feel less alone—you belong. I’m so grateful you’re listening.

I started this because I believe Chinese is a language for everyone, no matter your budget, your level, or where you’re tuning in from. That’s why every episode has content for beginners, advanced learners, and everyone in between: learning should be open, not exclusive.

We’re already at Week 4 — almost halfway through our 10‑week speed run to cover all 300 New HSK 1 words, built from the latest HSK 3.0 syllabus. Whether you’re studying for the exam or just want a solid foundation, this series is your shortcut. (Missed the earlier episodes? No stress, you can jump in right here. Every episode works on its own.)

Today is all about food, drinks, and ordering. You’ll learn around 30 words you’ll use every time you sit down to eat or grab a drink — like 饭 (rice), 茶 (tea), 好吃 (delicious), and simple phrases for ordering at a restaurant. Every word comes with pinyin, English, and example sentences you can use straight away.

The full vocabulary list for this episode is on Patreon, together with complete transcripts for all past episodes, episode‑based exercises, and bonus audio. Everything is there to help you keep building your Chinese.

Make sure you follow our podcast & subscribe our Patreon so you don’t miss a single word.
