Chinese neighbors are the worst. Well, they are the best when they bring you leftover food or Chinese New Year gifts, but usually, they are banging around at 5 am or making a racket unnecessarily. If they are driving you crazy, learn the following phrases.

BEGINNER CHINESE
Communicating with waiters in China is no easy task. Sometimes the rice takes too long to arrive. Sometimes dishes that you ordered never appear. Other times extra dishes are added to your bill that you didn’t order.
I have a tried and tested unit on my online course that is dedicated to teaching you restaurant best practice and all the basic language you need to communicate effectively. Do you want to know how to ask if this food is enough for two people? Or if it’s too much? Let me show you right now.

TEACHING IN CHINA
Do you want to know what teaching supplies you need to bring from your home country to China to aid your students learning?
I’ve been in China for 11 years and every time I go back to the US I bring something useful back for my classes. Now, I’ve got an array of trusted games and exercises to use with my students.

I know your mamma didn’t raise no fool. Is this book any good?
I’m reviewing the second edition of Chinese for Dummies. One of the first things I noticed when opening this book was the sheer quantity of content inside.

LIFE IN CHINA
I’ve been using Astrill VPN since September 2018.
I would say I’m a pro user. Not pro as in I know every nuance of the VPN and could list the servers in alphabetical order kinda pro. Just the I use Astrill every single day, have done for months, will continue to because it makes running my life and business a heck of a lot easier.
Each week I use Astrill to upload five pieces of content to Instagram, live stream twice, and upload a video to YouTube. I also watch Netflix on occasion and download stuff from iTunes.
My business in China is the only way I make income. Most people teach in China to get their visa, but my visa is linked to my business. If I can’t run my business, I can’t eat. Sad times.

Do you know what all my wonderful Elementary Chinese students love the most? The fact that they can learn how to communicate effectively in everyday situations in China. Here at Elementary Chinese, we don’t teach you useless vocabulary and Test Chinese. We teach you how to communicate whilst traveling, how to pronounce Chinese tones, how to talk with taxi drivers, how to speak on the phone with delivery drivers, and tons more everyday situations.
Would you like to be a part of the Elementary Chinese community or be the first person to be notified when my online course re-opens? There are tons of ways to stay connected and learn alongside a group of like-minded expats in China.
