You’ll come away with a longer-term strategy for learning tones, even if you’re as tone-deaf as John once was.  Interview is with Daniel Nalesnik, who, due to a fluke scheduling error, took a Chinese class, fell in love with the language, quit his job, and ended up in China studying full time.  Links from the episode:Chinese Pronunciation Wiki by AllSet Learning Hack Chinese flashcard platform See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
