I want to improve my Spanish and my Chinese. I am looking for language partners that want to schedule a regular meeting time (once or twice a week ... or maybe more). I used to be an ESL teacher in Taiwan and I have also taught Business in a University. I love to work with people who want to learn. I am patient and I can talk slowly and clearly.

    I don't have any passion for my current job. What should I do? I tried to transfer to another department, but we are short-handed, so my boss did not approve the transfer. He said that when we are fully staffed I could go so now I have to stay at least an extra 2 months. I am really bored. What should I do?

    Are you totally new to Mandarin Chinese

    I have just started a new set of videos for people who know no Chinese and don't know where to start. I don't try to teach you Chinese, just give you a framework so you can understand more quickly once you start to learn. I hope it will help you understand why Chinese is different and how that makes it harder and easier to learn.

    first video is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2i0Mqrgx6g

    I hope to have another couple of videos up this week.

    A second off, means a second faster than before. So Ye swam 1 second faster than the previous record ... she took a second off of the record.

    Get a Phd in Accounting, then get a job as a professor - easier to get immigartion status then.

    First steps in learning Chinese. The best way to learn a language is from a native speaker .... BUT at the beginning it is sometimes very useful to have someone who is not a native speaker, but who has learned the language, explain to you some of the key things to learn, avoid, pay attention to ... etc. If anyone is thinking about learning Chinese, or is at a very basic level ... and would like a little help in understanding more about learning Chinese ... just send me a message and we can try to arrange a time to talk. Maybe I can save you some time and frustration.

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    Hi. My name is Amor. I am from China and I live in Shanghai. I am a cute girl. 
    I love reading and keeping quiet (not sure what you want to say??). Currently I am working as an import/export clerk.
    I love English but athough I have learned a lot of grammar, I need to improve my speaking ability, especially my prounciation. Sometimes I can't express myself the way I would like to in English.
    I am looking for a teacher who can teach me, or maybe a language exchange partner. Either would be ok.
