Today, I'm joined by a special guest on the podcast, Jared Turner from Mandarin Companion.


If you’re learning Chinese, you’ve probably heard of Mandarin Companion’s graded readers, which make it possible to read Mandarin from an elementary level.


I used them a lot in my own learning journey, and as I've written on my blog, they were a game-changer for me when it came to reading.


What makes this conversation extra special is that a few years ago, Jared actually had me on his podcast, the You Can Learn Chinese podcast, where we talked about my experiences learning Mandarin in lockdown.


Now, it's my turn to turn the tables and interview him!


We had a wide-ranging chat, covering how he got into learning Chinese, and why he decided to start the legendary Mandarin Companion graded reader series.
