In this episode Kira and Sabrina get nostalgic about university life. When did they graduate? Who do they still talk to? What food do they miss most? And if they could say one thing to their younger selves — what would it be?

A warm, honest conversation in natural Mandarin — perfect for intermediate learners.

Welcome to the Moonlight Mandarin Podcast. I'm Kira, and joining me as always is Sabrina. This podcast is for intermediate Chinese learners, people who already know some Mandarin and want to take it to the next level by listening to real, natural conversations between two people who use Chinese every day. I'm originally from Kazakhstan. I lived in China for 12 years and now I teach Chinese online from the UK. Sabrina is based in China and brings the native speaker perspective. Together we cover everything from everyday topics to culture, language, and real life. Today we are talking about Bie Hu Da Shu Shenghu, University Life and Graduation. What do we miss? What will we tell our younger selves? And what was really going on in our university canteens? Let's get into it. Congratulations. That's it for today's episode. Thank you so much for listening.
