In this episode we continue our conversation from episode 8 with Eric Olander about his 33 year Mandarin Chinese language learning experience. Eric is a Journalist, Blogger, Media Executive, and Co-Founder and Managing Editor of the China Africa Project which includes the China in Africa Podcast, which he co-hosts weekly with Cobus Van Staden.
​Last time we chatted with Eric in episode 8 he shared his controversial learning methods but this time we dig into more of the cultural side of the Mandarin Chinese. We learn about how learning about how the time indicator 了 (le) can be thought of as a time bridge, how he knew he achieved a certain level of language learning competency when he got yelled at in Chinese and so much more.
