Can't learn Chinese, no matter how hard you study?

Try a totally different, brain-friendly way of acquiring Chinese!

If you're enrolled in a Chinese class locally, or trying to learn on your own using podcasts or Ro$etta $tone, chances are that your course is focusing on rote memorization of vocabulary, characters and grammar patterns. That just isn't the most efficient way for a Westerner to acquire Chinese. Chances are you're not getting to talk about anything that you care about much, either. How excited can you get about sentences like "Mr. Wang is tall", anyway, or writing words you can't use fluently in a conversation?

I began my Chinese study as a young adult and am a qualified State Department interpreter today. I also hold a Ph.D. in Foreign Language Education, so I know how to teach as well. I can explain and clarify all the problems that beginning students of Chinese face in an easy-to-understand way. I'm American, native in English, so there's never a communication barrier. And I'm a certified teacher, familiar with the common textbooks and curricula in use around the area.

Chinese does not have to be a difficult language. It just needs to be taught in a sensible, Westerner-friendly way. Don't let frustration and discouragement kill your interest in learning Chinese. One-on-one, group and family classes available. Let me show you how my broad arsenal of tricks and techniques can help you succeed with Chinese in no time!
