Slow Chinese With Janie is a Chinese-learning podcast built around short, easy stories for HSK 2–3 learners. Each episode introduces five useful words before Janie reads the story twice: first very slowly and then at a natural speed. The series follows characters such as Grandma Zhang, her cat Xiaobai, and their neighbor Xiao Li, with no grammar drills or tests. It is designed for relaxed listening during a commute, walk, or chores.
