Laowai Chinese 老外中文

About

This Site

If you’re a “lǎowài” 老外 (Chinese for “foreigner”) and you want to learn to speak “zhōngwén” 中文 (Chinese for “Chinese”), maybe this stuff can help.

But if coming to this site to check for updates is “tài máfan” 太麻烦 (“too much trouble”), you might prefer to receive email updates or subscribe via RSS.

Me

I started teaching myself Chinese (with help from friends, of course) in July of 2005 and thought I’d share what I’ve learned so far. I’m currently teaching English at Guangdong Peizheng College in Guangzhou, China.

I’ve also recently published a book about how to learn Chinese without a formal classroom environment.
