Fun learning; productive and result guaranteed
I taught myself English back in the early '80s in Beijing, China. When I came to America as a college student in 1988, nobody believed that I was not born and raised in America. This tells you that I know how to study a foreign language on my own. My language skill helped me to finish college and an MBA with honors in America and got me good jobs in corporate America. I used to teach English in China, I have been teaching Chinese at my church, and I tutor Chinese for high school and colle... Read more
