Chinese Around You | Graded HSK Mandarin Podcast 分级中文播客

You walk into a shop just to look around, yet shop assistants keep trailing you, constantly recommending products and pushing you to buy. You hate the awkward atmosphere but don’t know how to politely send them away. You also struggle to ask for trying on clothes, tasting snacks or testing goods naturally, only able to gesture silently. Master these short lines, and you can wander shops freely without being disturbed, plus ask to try any item confidently.

Thanks for being here. This podcast is where stories, language, and connection meet. Whether you’re here to learn Chinese, find calm, or feel less alone—you belong. I’m so grateful you’re listening.

I started this because I believe Chinese is a language for everyone, no matter your budget, your level, or where you’re tuning in from. That’s why every episode has content for beginners, advanced learners, and everyone in between: learning should be open, not exclusive.

I haven't seen comments on these vocab episodes yet, and I honestly don't know if you're loving them or if they're just not your thing. If you want this series to continue beyond HSK 1, let me know in the comments. Even a quick “keep going” or “yes” counts. If this podcast gets 10 comments, I'll take that as a green light and start working on the next HSK level right away. No pressure, just if you want more.

This episode is for everyone, all levels welcome. A good Chinese name can be a great conversation starter. A bad one can be… unforgettable for the wrong reasons. In this episode, we talk about how Chinese names are structured, three easy ways to make your own, and the funny things that can happen when you don't check with a native speaker first.

🎁 I'll make a Chinese name for you personally for free
Leave a comment or review on whatever platform you're listening on. Tell me a little about why you listen to Chinese Around You, and include two things: your English name (or the one you'd like me to base your Chinese name on), and the feeling you want your name to have — cute, wise, brave, peaceful… anything that feels like you. Then just sign with your first name.
I'll read through every single one. And in a future episode, I'll go through the names one by one and create Chinese names just for you.
