When people ask me why I study Chinese, I tell them my primary motivation is internal. Learning this language brings me joy like nothing else. Here's a small example of what I mean. Flight home from Denver. Listening to Write of Passage alum Camellia Yang's "Chiwi Journal" podcast. The episode covers a topic I'm familiar with (mental models). I understand 70-80% of what's being said. In certain sections, my understanding jumps up to a thrilling 95 or 100%.
