INTERVIEW

In his first interview with Elementary Chinese, Michael Hart shares the best way to study Mandarin from his experience learning Chinese in China since 1996.

Michael lives in Tianjin, works as the managing director of Tianjin Jones Lang LaSalle, and serves as the Vice Chairman for the Tianjin Chapter of AmCham China. Well established and committed to Tianjin, Michael uses his Mandarin to empower his business team, represent American business interests to the Chinese government and build relationships with professionals in Tianjin, China.

In this video, I’ll teach you how to say Happy Mother’s day in Chinese.

This holiday only comes once a year. If you live in China and are married (Chinese wife or not) you’ll want to know how to say happy Mother’s Day in Mandarin.

In this video, you get to listen as I order street food and have a good time talking to bystanders.

I also pause the video throughout and insert explanations of useful Chinese phrases just before they’re spoken to help you learn Mandarin.

The best way to learn Mandarin Chinese is to listen more frequently to conversation and practice listening to Chinese as much as you can.
