Geopats: balancing culture shock
No matter where you're from or where you've moved to or are planning to move to, this podcast can help you get grounded. These are conversations that with other long term expats and internationals about what grounded them in their other places in the world. We embrace culture shock and learn from it. Some conversations are focused on books, others language, online communities and more. These are candid, vulnerable conversations that reflect our ups and downs adjusting to life elsewhere.
Geopats: balancing culture shock
A German in Shanghai learns Chinese
Do bookworms learn languages better? In 2017 Angie was the Creator of T(h)ree of Books YouTube channel. She was also a German expat living in Shanghai, China. She had a few languages under her belt before she moved to Shanghai and started to study Mandarin Chinese. Angie decided to take the time to study Mandarin Chinese in a classroom setting the first few months she was in the city and that is what our conversation revolved around. At the time, I was self studying while working way too much, so I had questions about the classroom experience in China.
