#17 Bridging the Gap to Higher Levels - a podcast by Jared Turner, John Pasden

There comes a point in every learners language development when there is a gap between their current level and the next level up. It’s a more pronounced gap for intermediate to advanced levels and John and Jared discuss strategies on how to make this leap and keep moving forward.

Guest interview is with Rakesh Amaram who started learning Chinese when he began dating a Chinese girl from University. Fast forward years later, he learned Chinese while living in Texas, and he and his girlfriend-turned-wife are bringing up their daughter in a bilingual home.
