Meet your teachers

Our students Domante (Chinese and German), Joshua (Spanish and East Asian Studies) and Georgina (Chinese and Japanese) will be sharing their love of all things Chinese with you. They are in the second year of their degree and say hello here.

Ready to try some Chinese? It's rather different to some of the other languages you may currently be studying. Joshua's video on tones will introduce you to one of the main features that makes Chinese so different, so start there and maybe continue with Joshua's film on numbers and Georgina's video on self introductions. You can then work your way through the other topics in any order.

We have also collected some resources below - these include some of the links Georgina refers to in her videos, and some general Chinese language links.
