Chinese is an arduous language to learn and there’s a strategy to take it on. That’s what our guest Lawrence Feldman wrote in his book, ‘Mastering Mandarin: Expert Hacks for Expats or Anyone to Fly from Zero to Fluency with Maximum Efficiency’. 

I like to look at this as the learning-Chinese-motivational-episode. Lawrence and I both know what it’s like to go to China without speaking Chinese, but both later got a handle of the language which greatly improved our lives in China. We also discuss that recent article that complains about white guys who speak Chinese.
