I was asked recently to do an interview with CBC’s international team. They wished to do the interview entirely in Mandarin. I am thankful my parents taught me how to speak, but I’ve never had to do it formally as such. It’s to the point where I’m even hesitant to listen to this interview myself! Perhaps you can click on the audio link and let me know how my Mandarin is.
