Have you ever wanted to learn Chinese from me? 你想学中文吗? Do you want to understand what the heck I just wrote? Have you ever wanted a fun way to learn that didn’t involve sitting around awkwardly trying to ask each other “What’s your name?” Well, maybe this is the place for you. Chinese Mandarin is actually not as hard to learn as you think. It’s like learning Jiu Jitsu. There’s a system. It’s often just not taught correctly.
Why You Should Learn Chinese With Me
Well, since you watch Fight Commentary Breakdowns, you know I’m a good translator and blogger-journalist in the sino-US sphere. But why else?
Besides going to school in China, I’ve also worked for one of China’s biggest tech companies for two years. I’m not going to say which one, but if you watch my videos with the bell button on, you’ve probably heard me talk about that company before. I also actively practice my Chinese every week like we all practice martial arts. So I’ve had Chinese school, professional Chinese workplace experience, and continued education and practice weekly. Even if I didn’t want to be a bridge between Mandarin and English, I am.
I’m an Ivy League educated person, so my analytical skills tend to be pretty high. This makes me able to break down things. But that doesn’t mean I can teach it to other people, right? Well, I’ve also tutored kids for many years and also worked with kids in other capacities like camp counselor, so I’ve had experience teaching the youngest people. So I’ve had many, many years to hone my teaching abilities.
How We’ll Learn Mandarin Chinese
First, let’s learn about Mandarin Chinese through martial arts videos, martial arts interviews, martial arts cinema etc. We’ll explore the Chinese language by applying it to our favorite hobby–martial arts and self-defense!
Second, Jerry loves music, so we will use Chinese music to learn Chinese. Jerry will pay special tribute to the music of his celebrity crush 黄龄 (Isabelle Huang) as teaching tools. Isabelle, please marry me. That playlist is called Learning From TV/Films/Documentaries/Music.
Third, I have a learn Mandarin YouTube channel that teaches Chinese Mandarin. I will expand on those lessons here! So, look for the playlist called “Expanded Lessons From YouTube.”
Learn Chinese with me! We will make it fun, applicable, philosophical 😉
