podcast #15: China’s mad about English and everyone’s mad about Chinglish

Jump to Comments

Learning English is all the rage in China right now. We have several items on how the Chinese are struggling to learn English: many struggle more than learn. We ask whether China’s emerging English profiency will mean an end to those poor but funny translations known as Chinglish. We also discover that you can commit some seriously juicy Chinglish in reverse form, from English to Chinese. Listen here or here on iTunes.

  • Just a general comment–I can’t believe how few comments are posted to your blog! I thoroughly enjoy each “episode” of the podcast. You seem to find items that interest me every week! I appreciate the professional production quality of each show, too. I listen to a number of podcasts for their content, but often the amateur level of production leave me cringing.

    What is the theme music you play? It always gets me in a happy mood!

    Cheers!
