When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport.

In this episode we talk a little about reading some of the "Classics", ie, some of Plato's works in the original language; we also cover reading religious texts in ancient languages and whether or not it's an appropriate form to learn a language these days; and, finally, we check in with my Chinese language abilities in a new video released on the YouTube channel.
At the end of this week's episode, we also talk about our upcoming launch of a Chinese-by-email course that we will be releasing in January for those who are interested in dipping their toes into the world of Chinese characters, language learning, and preparing to come to China.

Would people like that? Next, we go through some of the things to consider if you're looking for working in China and how much you could potentially make while living and working in the country. This episode continues on a little bit where the YouTube video leaves off in that I also consider some of the things to check before signing a contract, including benefits, airfare coverage, and expectations. I also share a classic example of a useful Chinese idiom that I've been telling the students since Day 1: the teacher can only take you so far before you have to learn yourself. Finally, for those interested in my return to the classroom after years in a corporate environment, I share some of the details of what it's like especially now that I know a little bit more Chinese than when I first arrived some ten years ago.

We look at the mythology behind the story and discuss my understanding of how the movie unfolds - including some challenges following the plot. We also talk about Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book), the platform that has seemingly taken over TikTok’s spotlight, and why I’m using it more than I ever used TikTok. I share insights on how Xiaohongshu compares to other social media platforms and what to expect when engaging with content on it. Additionally, I consider a few of the big errors I've had in my own language studies. From not writing enough to overestimating my knowledge, I review some of the challenges I've faced in learning Mandarin and other languages. Lastly, we visit the Military Museum of the People’s Revolution in Beijing and walk through the floors of large military equipment gathered over the decades.

「あとで再生する」 「あとで再生する」 リスト 気に入り 気に入ったThis episode was recoded while in transit at the Seoul Incheon airport in South Korea. I figured it would be better to record it early before the trip rather than try to set everything up once I was back in Canada. This episode includes a discussion of recent activity on the language vlog, notably an "exit" language check while at the Beijing airport. Then we also talk a little bit about the difference in using textbooks and APPs and why it's sometimes easier to buy one instead of the other. Finally, I talk about the reason for the trip to Canada and its short duration. Transcripts here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-sDW4HyeAH9PssJp8kE6XWQduAHOXj7n?usp=sharing Keep in touch!
