Chinese is the language of everyday life - a casual remark at the dinner table, a viral phrase from short videos, and an important way many Chinese communities connect to culture, memory, and identity.
SBS Simple Mandarin brings the language out of textbooks and back into real life. Whether you are a second- or third-generation Chinese speaker, a Mandarin learner, or simply interested in Chinese culture, this series goes beyond language learning to explore the pop culture, online expressions, and everyday ways Mandarin is actually used.
The new SBS Mandarin podcast series SBS Simple Mandarin launches on 15 May. Search for “SBS Simple Mandarin” or “SBS 普通话 好简单”, or listen via the SBS Audio App, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other major platforms.
We use simple Mandarin to talk about the things that matter to you. Speaking Chinese is not as hard as it seems!
