Ever tried to learn Mandarin while you sleep?

One listener did — and his girlfriend woke up to him whispering “māma” all night.

In this episode, we read your wildest Mandarin stories:

🧠 Sleep-learning experiments gone wrong

🐟 The “train station” that turned into a pet shop

💔 The couple arguing about the third tone

🙊 Why Chinese speakers don’t say “bless you”

and much more from our Listener Mailbag.

This is real Mandarin listening practice — with jokes, accents, and stories from actual learners.
