In this week's episode of the Language Vlog Podcast, we discuss the busy week which saw me renewing my work visa, visiting the police station and navigating the usual paperwork.  All the while, we posted a new language check in video in which I try my hand at speaking both Russiand and Chinese. We also cover this week's live streams which included Chinese ghost stories (聊斋志异 in particular) and Russian declenions.  We finished the week with a couple of YouTube Shorts that gave a look at the air quality in Beijing as it stood on Friday afternoon.  For more language tips, expat life insights, and to support the podcast, subscribe and buy me a coffee!
