Learning How To Communicate In Everyday Situations In China.

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.

Chinese Tones

What Is A VPN?

Whenever we surf the internet whether we’re in a public place, at home or at work, none of our data is encrypted. There is a risk that others can steal our data or track our digital movements. Anti-virus programmes only protect from things entering our computer or phone, not things going out — like our bank information, personal data, or private messages.

There is a very simple way to protect ourselves. Connect to a Virtual Private Network. Whenever you are connected to your VPN you are safely, securely, and anonymously surfing the web.

Another reason to use a VPN is to gain access to censored websites from your local internet connection. For example; I wanna live stream on Instagram but I’m in China? It gives you unrestricted access to filtered or blocked content.
