WELCOME
We’ve had quite a few new visitors here lately so I thought I’d reintroduce myself, Elementary Chinese, and what we do.
We’re all about learning real Chinese, communicating, and having fun.
I’ve lived in China for 11 years. Don’t worry guys, I promise it gets better.
I teach everyday Chinese to foreigners here in China. I’ve been teaching other teachers, and non-Chinese adults here in China, how to speak Chinese for the past three years.
