More about Carrie

What are your hobbies/interests?
I like reading and traveling , I think they can both help me broaden my vision. I also like cooking Chinese food and watching movies especially American and European movies.

Why do you like teaching Mandarin?
During my college time, my major is Chinese language & literature which gives me a good understanding of Chinese culture and I’d like share it with more foreign friends, also think teaching mandrin is good way to get to know more foreign friends.

What is your secret in teaching Mandarin?
Chinese is a beautiful language and actually, it’s not as tough as most people think, so If you want to learn it, just stick with me and I will show you the way

What kind of thing do you look in men?
I think a good man must be a mature, dynamic and honest person with rich sense of responsibility that he can be responsible for his family and the one he loves.

What Chinese dish would you recommend to your students?
Chinese barbecue is very different from other country’s, if you come to China I recommend you that you can invite some of your friends to go to Qingdao . Qingdao is a seaside city famous for its beer, so you can enjoy the seaside scenery while drinking beers and eating barbecue.

      I’d love to ! If I ‘m there when you travel to Qingdao.
      You can type “v” instead of” ǚ “,
      for example,if you want to get ”旅行“ just type “lv xing”!

      PS:You can have free Chinese lessons with me now.

    最近好嗎？

    I think your lessons are fantastic. I’ve only just started looking into learning Mandarin, as I would live to visit China one day soon and make friends with the locals! I am hooked with these lessons.
    If I knew enough mandarin I think it would be excellent to get involved with company somehow, but first I must learn!

    Chinese BBQ sounds interesting! What meats do you use!?

    Hello, Carrie,

    I really enjoyed the private lesson. I feel very comfortable talking Chinese to you. I am sure my Chinese will improve seizably. At the moment all your group lessons are between 2am and 4am in my timezone. Do you think it would be possible to have a few group lessons at, let’s say 7am in my timezone or later?

      Hi Angelos,

      Thank you, it’s nice talking to you,too and I really hope we can have more lessons together.

      For now, our group lessons are scheduled based on the US time zone.
      Thank you for your reminding, we definitely need to set some group lessons according to European time zone. Let’s say 5 pm, Hong Kong time, which is 10:00 am your time.
      Is that OK with you?

      Let me know if you have more requests and look forward to seeing you in our next lesson!
