A lot of us have started finessing our communication skills in our 20s and 30s as we work through our own self-growth in the language we're most comfortable in - English. And yet, when we want to apply these same skills of expressing our needs, setting boundaries, navigating conflicts with empathy, and other critical interpersonal skills in Mandarin, we lack the vernacular necessary to express ourselves fully in those contexts.

We're so proud to announce that Module 2: Interpersonal Relationships & Dynamics from our new course Real You Mandarin: Self-Expression, is now live! This module covers:

1. Expressing Love, Needs, & Managing Expectations
