Hey, I am Guoxing Zhu, a Chinese IT professional living in Beijing. My English name is Edward and people just call me Eddie. I started learning English when I was 30 years old because back then I got tired of my job and had an crazy idea going to study overseas in an English speaking country. Well, it may not sound crazy to some of you, but it is crazy enough to most typical Chinese as the common idea here is you should not go for a new skill after you get older than 30. As the black sheep in my family, I brushed aside all those 'kind advice' and set off on my new journey. It took me four years to progress from an absolute beginner to upper intermediate level and got a overall 6.5 in IELTS. After that I got my offer from an University in Australia and completed my master degree in ICT two years later. It hasn't been easy as for numerous times I almost give up on learning English. But after I eventually survived it, I just fell in love with learning languages and other cultures. So, here I am, looking forward to helping others with their second language study and also learning a second foreign language to bring more fun and excitement into my life. Cannot wait to meet you, my new friends. BTW, I am trying to learn Spanish and Korean.
