Mandarin Chinese with Todd C.

I have a passion for Chinese language and culture. After living in China and Taiwan, I learned to speak and understand a range of Chinese accents. My accent is standard Mandarin as spoken in Harbin, which is considered to most proper. I read both Traditional and Simplified characters. My understanding of the language and culture is profound and my lessons contain strong cultural overtones. That means that you will learn more than how to speak the language, you will also learn nuances and usages that are not always evident from traditional teaching materials. I only use authentic materials, printed for native speakers. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing! As someone who has studied nearly 20 languages, I will guide you through a fascnating journey to learning Chinese.
