Convo Chinese is tailored for intermediate and advanced learners and dives into genuine Chinese dialogues spanning a wide range of topics from daily life to global politics. As the name implies, these are conversations between the host and one or two guests, often other native speakers, but sometimes also advanced learners. Episodes differ in how much they paraphrase and explain difficult words and expressions, so if you find an episode too hard, try another! Transcripts and vocabulary lists are available on their website or in the show notes.

Pros: Almost only in Chinese, natural conversations, interesting topics

Cons: Somewhat uneven difficulty level depending on the guest(s)
