Summary
Welcome back to the Mandarin Monkey Podcast episode 461. This week, we dive into a big idea: what if we hosted a Mandarin Monkey live immersion event in the UK? We talk through what that could look like — a full day of Chinese-speaking activities, games, food, and socialising — designed to feel fun, relaxed, and genuinely immersive, not like a traditional classroom. Along the way, we also chat about: how realistic a one-day Mandarin immersion event actually is the challenges of organising venues, logistics, and activities ideas for games, karaoke, VR, food tasting, and interactive learning how AI is becoming part of daily life, work, and creativity what it’s like talking to AI (and when it gets a bit weird…) why different AI voices and personalities feel so different new teachers joining Mandarin Monkey plans to improve our booking system and website This episode is a mix of brainstorming, behind-the-scenes, and everyday life, as we figure things out in real time. If you’d be interested in joining a Mandarin Monkey live event, let us know. Thanks for listening. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
