About Elementary Chinese

Hi there ????

Welcome to Elementary Chinese. I’m Kwadwo! I’ve lived in China for 11 years. I help expats living in China learn the everyday Chinese they need, so they can communicate what they want!

More importantly, I’ve been where you are at now. Chinese isn’t easy, and working here in China 40 *ahem* 55 hours a week, there’s not enough time in the day to get to a class!

But, stop. You don’t need a class to get good at Mandarin. You need Elementary Chinese.


How to learn Chinese with Elementary Chinese

Step one

Head over to fixyourchinesetones.com to improve your Mandarin tones. Tones are the foundation of Chinese. Learn them right, so Chinese folks understand what you’re saying.

Step two

Head over to my book reviews page. Whether you’re a super beginner, taking a HSK exam or deciding which self-study textbook to purchase, I’ve collated the best books of all time – so you save time and money.


And finally, connect with me on Social Media

The Great Firewall of China

Want to use the VPN I use for a stable, quick connection in China? I depend on it to upload more than six videos a week and live-stream on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. And here’s my second choice for a VPN. Plus, when you download from either link, they share some of the cost with me, so I can keep creating the videos you love.
