I was recently interviewed by Jared Turner, one of the founders of the Mandarin Companion Chinese graded readers and co-host of the “You Can Learn Chinese” podcast.    I’ve been a long-time fan of Mandarin Companion because I believe having graded readers is an indispensable tool for learning a foreign language.   As a result, I’ve communicated with Jared and his business partner, John Pasden, over the years.  It was a pleasure to finally meet Jared (albeit online) and talk to him about my experience studying Chinese and my experience with the immersion program at the Chinese Langauge Institute in Guilin, China.
