Serious Chinese Conversation 中文不轻松

…

Jack

If you're sick of listening to overly happy and simple Chinese topics and want some more serious stuff, you've come to the right place. I will discuss almost any topic and try to focus on both the negative and positive aspects. Always make sure to check the grammar notes and vocab list in the description before listening. Topic Suggestions are always welcome at jackwyldeck@qq.com
