Language Learning

Comprehensible Input is a powerful and efficient way of learning a language in which a learner consumes high volumes of target-language media content and lets their brain do the task of pattern recognition to learn vocabulary in context and infer grammar rules intuitively. We are taking Mandarin content and making it just the right amount comprehensible for beginner and intermediate learners, and this first episode breaks down a high-yield paragraph from Angela Lee Duckworth's TED Talk "Grit: The power of passion and perseverance".
