			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday I put the word out on <a href="http://chinesepod.com/community/conversations/post/4748">ChinesePod</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/BillGlover/status/1489235422">Twitter</a> that I was looking for anyone who was studying Chinese, but also blogging about the experience. There don&#8217;t appear to be any blogs dedicated to sharing the experience of learning Mandarin, but many people seem to be posting little snippets on their personal blogs.</p>
