🗣️Why I Became More Extroverted in Germany | Chinese Comprehensible Input (Listening)

Improve your Mandarin with natural, authentic Chinese listening practice. In this video, I share my personal story of how moving from China to Germany completely transformed my personality—from being introverted to becoming much more outgoing, expressive, and energised by meeting new people.
Many people mention struggling with loneliness or the winter blues when moving abroad. However, my experience was the opposite. I discuss four key reasons for this shift: having to step out of my comfort zone in a completely new environment, adapting to a culture that encourages open self-expression, enjoying a more relaxed and humorous social atmosphere, and discovering a genuine curiosity for diverse mindsets and lifestyles.
Using easy-to-understand slow Chinese and the natural method, this comprehensible input video is tailored for intermediate learners, HSK 3, HSK 4, and anyone seeking A2/B1 immersive language learning.
