When is the best time to learn Chinese? While early childhood is often emphasized, what if someone discovers their passion for Mandarin later in life—like in college?

In this episode, we explore the Chinese Flagship Program, a U.S. college initiative designed to help students achieve professional-level fluency through intensive coursework and immersive study abroad experiences.
Our guest, Rachel, a graduate of the Hunter College Chinese Flagship Program, recently completed a full study abroad year in Taiwan (2023).

She shares:

• Her journey learning Chinese from scratch in college
• How the Chinese Flagship Program works and what makes it intensive
• Her study abroad experience
• The impact of immersion on her language skills and future opportunities
