Today my guest on the I Want To Know podcast is Andrew Methven. Andrew helps aspiring Mandarin learners maintain and improve their language skills and stay on top of the latest language trends in China through his slow Chinese newsletter. Each week, he picks one news story out of China, explains how people are discussing it, and shares cool and interesting words and phrases to discuss it in Chinese with his 5,500 readers, who probably won't find that vocabulary in a textbook. Along with the free newsletter, Andrew launched a paid membership and a community of language learners one year ago with nearly 300 subscribers.

Here are some of the most valuable moments in their conversation:
