Hollie and Nora are not afraid to get their hands dirty and get into the good, the bad and the ugly about what it's like to be a foreign girl in the fastest growing city in China on the opposite side of the globe from home.
Today’s question comes from Ashley, who asks us how we managed to learn Chinese.

The Mistakes We Made:
1. 1 word = 1 Chinese character
2. Saying things too slowly
3. Trying to translate from English
4. Ignoring Chinese characters / trying to memorize by writing them over and over again
5. Being worried about speaking and understanding
6. Sticking to comfortable environments
7. Avoiding communicating until I’ve studied more
Thanks for listening, guys! – Hollie & Nora
