A professional teacher looking for a language partner. My Chinese for your English.

Hello friends,

I am a Chinese teacher with 10 years teaching experience. I am looking forward to a native English speaker who'd like to improve Chinese, so we can make the exchange. My aim is to practice my spoken English and probably with some questions I had. It will be in an enjoyable and easy way. If you are interested in it, please send me a message.

Xiexie!

Interesting Chinese characters-好hǎo 好in Chinese basically means Good. As you know, 山means mountain, 日 means sun，人means people, which are easier for ancient Chinese people to make the characters. But how could they make a Character which means Good? You just can’t use a really thing, it is a feeling. So they made Lady and Child together 女+子to show the meaning. When they saw their wives and children in their house, that means good! How smart! 女 means woman, nowadays it looks like a walking lady with big butt. 子 means child, baby. It likes a baby with big head.
