Hey everyone, welcome to the first official post on my new website! I have been working hard on a series of videos to help you to learn Chinese. The videos are intended to be quick, effective and entertaining(hopefully!). Basically, I'm trying to immerse you in Chinese, but at the same time I don't want to overwhelm you with new vocabulary, if that makes sense. Further more, each video in this series will build on the last, and will hopefully help you to develop a well-rounded command of Chinese. But that ain't gonna happen with you just standing there looking pretty, so let's get started!
