You had questions, and I answered them. This episode features some very unqualified responses to topics like:  

- What’s the best way to study Chinese when you’re stuck in a non-Chinese speaking environment?

- What is “Taiwanese language,” and who actually speaks it?

- How do you deal with coronavirus-fixated racists?

- How do you talk to a partner who strongly disagrees with you about Taiwan independence, Hong Kong, and Uyghur concentration camps?

- Why is this podcast called The Bad Chinese Teacher Podcast, and not The Bad Mandarin Teacher Podcast?  T

here wasn’t enough time to cover the many, many questions that were submitted for this AMA, but keep the questions coming — I’ll be sure answer them over DM or feature them in a future episode.
