Learning Chinese is like climbing a tall mountain, but together, we can break it down into small, achievable steps.
The most significant positive impact in my life, especially at work, has been my ability to communicate in Chinese. It has enhanced my relationships with colleagues and students, leading to valuable friendships. Even casual chats with DiDi drivers have enriched my life by offering insights into their experiences and travel recommendations in China.
Speaking Chinese as a foreigner earns respect from locals and improves their perception of foreigners. It's frustrating when they don't understand, but it's essential to remember our role as guests in their country, fostering positive interactions.
In 2021, I solo-traveled through 11 Chinese cities in 17 days, using local apps and embracing the challenge of applying my Chinese skills. Regretting not starting earlier, I found my teacher Amay, and others like Lili and Daisy, kind and patient, supporting me beyond lessons.

My communication with my colleagues and students has improved drastically. I've also learned a few great strategies to remember vocabulary and am able to more clearly express myself.

Been coming to CS for 2 years now! The school does a fantastic job of organizing their curriculum and makes each and every class unique and interesting, suited to the level of the student.
What I enjoy the most however is the extra curricula activities the school hosts on a weekly basis!
