If Mindy weren’t a Mandarin teacher, what would she do instead? 🎙️🐴 The answer might not be what you expect.
In this episode of Bitesize Talks, Mindy shares her dream of one day running a farm for rescued animals—and why her love of horses makes the idea surprisingly hard to give up. Drawing on her real experience as a teacher and content creator, she also reflects on the difference between imagining a dream job and actually doing it every day.
Along the way, practice natural Mandarin for talking about work, dreams, personal interests, and the reality behind jobs that might look perfect from the outside.
