Meet your American-Born Taiwanese (ABT) host, Angela Lin. In this podcast premiere episode, Angela uses Mandarin to explain what you can expect from the show when she is joined by Mandarin teacher guests in future episodes, why she wanted to start this podcast, how it will help both you and her improve your "grown-up" vocabularies by discussing these real life topics with her guests, why she thinks this podcast format is special considering the rarity with which we hear other ABCs/ABTs actually talking exclusively in Mandarin, why she was motivated to start her company Real You Mandarin to help other ABCs/ABTs improve their Mandarin, and more.

P.S. If you watch the video episode, you'll see vocabulary highlighted on screen in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Pinyin, and English.
