About Me
italki teacher since Feb 25, 2014
I love languages. I am Chinese. I can speak Cantonese and Mandarin. I can also speak some English and Japanese. Currently I am learning Thai with my teacher on italki as well.
Me as a Teacher
If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart. --Nelson Mandela.
I totally agree with this and I think this is the main reason why I really want to teach Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese) to people around the world, so that people could have better communication with Chinese people and enjoy the culture better.

Teacher’s pick
Today was my first Cantonese lesson ever. (I have never learnt from any books or youtube before). I only have some basic in Mandarin. Yan spoke to me in Cantonese from the first sentence. She encouraged me to try using the words I just learned a couple of seconds ago by asking me lots of questions.
I imitated how she put things in sentences and learned quite a lot today.
Thank you, Yan ; )!!

Great! I really like that Yanlee keeps the whole lesson in Chinese, despite my very limited abilities - it is definitely the best way to improve quickly. and Yanlee is so friendly and patient :-)

This was a very fun class. As a beginner, I find it is very hard speaking Cantonese the whole time but I feel so lucky that teacher Yan is very patient and continues to encourage me. It is an amazing feeling to speak only in your target language for an hour as a beginner!
