Totoro, Steak & Escape Rooms｜Chinese–English Bilingual Podcast Listening Practice

This one’s part London adventure, part Mandarin listening practice.

Tom celebrated his birthday and 10-year anniversary with Ula — a surprise visit from Auntie Kara, a Studio Ghibli stage show (“My Neighbour Totoro”), London’s best steak at Steak & Company, and an escape-room fail that turned into a win… with only 18 seconds left on the clock.

It’s a bilingual Chinese–English episode, so you’ll get real, natural Chinese with clear English context — perfect for learners who want genuine Mandarin conversation, not classroom scripts.

🎧 What’s inside:

Life in the UK told in Mandarin + English
Real couple conversation for natural listening practice
Studio Ghibli, London travel, and the best wagyu steak we’ve ever had
Why escape rooms are secretly relationship tests
How to use fun topics like these to learn real-life Chinese
