"我就是一个教中文的帅老外" -- this sentence looks pretty foreign right? Chinese is a very VERY foreign language. I think it's about as different from English as you get!

My name is Shawn -- I've been learning Chinese for many years now. I am deeply passionate about Chinese -- especially about teaching it with crystal clarity.

When it comes to learning something very foreign like Chinese -- something that is extremely helpful is a teacher who can explain Chinese words and concepts with that utmost clarity -- that facilitates understanding and learning -- and that's where I come in!

I do prefer to explain how Chinese works in English. This gives the learner the ability to very transparently understand what I'm saying. Then we can practice thoroughly in Chinese together and truly entrench ourselves into the language!

Join me on my lifelong Mandarin learning journey -- and feel the joy and satisfaction of learning a truly "foreign" language!
