I'm Originally from Chicago. (born) We moved to New Mexico when I was very young. I have lived in New Mexico for most of my life. I recently moved to a more southern part of New Mexico called Silver City. I plan on opening a movie theater in September of this year (2015). I love movies and watch them all the time. I grew up with movies, and have always loved them. I would like to learn Mandarin Chinese because I have always wanted to learn it. I think that the language is interesting, and the culture. Eventually I would like to be fluent in the language and start a group locally to learn it. Italki Was recommended to me by the yoyochinese website. I hope that It will provide me with a better understanding of the language and how certain words sound. I think hearing a language the way that it is supposed to be said or heard is more helpful than reading a textbook.
