About Perform Chinese: A Language Course for True Beginners

We teach you Mandarin as scripts performed in real-life situations. You will have a Chinese name and be invited to turns performing various scenarios. When listening, imagine you are in the scenario and ACT out your role.  Informed by the Experiential Learning Theory and the Performed Culture approach (PCA), each episode is paired with a rehearsal section for self-test. Study one new pair at a time and start the next time with the rehearsal section of the previous episode for a review. The episodes labeled with "PC" each build on the previous one. The Bonus episodes are optional supplements.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
