Ni hao wo lao shi!

I love the recordings and accompanying tape scripts. I lived in China
for a year in a comparatively small city called Hanzhong, in the
Shaangxi province. Not only did I study Chinese there from a couple
different instructors at our school, but I also worked with the
Rosetta Stone, Transparent Language software, and a couple other
freeware programs. But none of the instruction was really practical
enough (you can go through all of the Rosetta Stone without ever
learning “ni hao”), or systematic and comprehensive enough for me to
really get a solid footing in the foundation of the language. I do
have lots of bits and peaces, but they aren’t all coming together.

Recently I’ve been living in Vietnam, but am moving back to China in
February to teach English there, to another small town, Pulandian,
where there are virtually no foreigners and I will really have to rely
on my Chinese.

Your lessons are the best thing I’ve come across in all my searches
and will give me the foundation I want. I’ll still work with other
programs to round out my understanding and fortify what I learn
through you, but you are now my primary Chinese teacher.

Among the great things about your instruction are the explanations,
clear and slow pronunciation followed by natural speach, and the
native speaker inclusion.

I put all the significant material on notecards to drill myself, and
you’ve also got the best and most useful phrases I’ve come across to
work with.

Keep up the outstanding job and inexpensive service for those that
want to learn Mandarin.

Again, as an experienced and serious English teacher, I can really
appreciate your approach.

Sincerely,

Eric Kuns
