    The ChillChat podcast is an absolute gem for anyone looking to improve their Chinese language skills in a fun and engaging way. I have found myself listening to their shows over and over again, as the hosts' fun banter and conversational tone make it easy to stay engaged. What sets this podcast apart is that they not only teach new words but also provide examples of how to use them in context, which has been incredibly helpful for me. Additionally, their new all Chinese podcasts are at just the right level for intermediate listeners like myself, challenging but still doable.

    One of the best aspects of The ChillChat podcast is their unique format of alternating between Chinese and English dialogue. This allows listeners to listen at a higher speaking level without losing track of the conversation, making it feel immersive. The conversational tone of the hosts adds an element of enjoyment, as there are often moments where I catch myself smiling or laughing along with them. For those looking to break into more intermediate-level Chinese, this podcast is a fantastic use of your time. Even though I'm not quite at an intermediate level yet, I can still appreciate the value it provides.

    However, one area where The ChillChat podcast could improve is by incorporating more episodes that focus on grammar and word usage. While recent episodes have been enjoyable and informative, they have had less emphasis on these particular areas compared to earlier ones. Personally, I find it more enjoyable to learn grammar through listening rather than reading from a textbook, so having a balance between conversational topics and grammar lessons would be ideal.

    In conclusion, The ChillChat podcast is a great resource for Chinese language learners beyond the beginner stage. It offers an enjoyable learning experience with its engaging hosts and mix of English and Chinese dialogue. Whether you're an intermediate learner or someone looking to maintain previous learning, this podcast serves as a valuable supplement to your Mandarin education. The hosts' dedication to providing useful vocabulary and contemporary topics is commendable, and I highly recommend giving it a try.

    大家好，我是Karen。又有一个新的消息要跟大家说，可能有一些听众或者订阅的观众已经知道了，那就是再过两天我就要去“卸货”了，对，我要去生宝宝了。我感觉做自媒体的人隔一段时间就会“我有一个消息要跟大家说”。对没错，所以马上我就要去生宝宝了。我给自己规划的产假是1到2个月左右，因为我们是双胞胎，所以可能会需要更多的时间去适应这个过渡期。大家不用担心，我有提前准备一些材料，所以目前所有Buy Me A Coffee和Patreon上面订阅的会员会停更两个星期，两个星期以后，每个星期固定的播客、文章，还有语法视频就会恢复更新了。对，所以想跟大家说一下这个消息。感谢大家一路以来对Chillchat，对我和柏威的支持。我们个人生活上的转变并不会影响以后我们制作汉语学习材料的工作，也希望宝宝的到来能够给我们一些更多的灵感，给大家创造更好的材料。对。想跟大家说一下这个消息，我们两个星期以后再见。DOWNLOAD the【podcast transcript with Pinyin and English】at
