私について
2023年8月4日 から italki 講師Interest topic旅行グルメ音楽
Hi, I'm Kai, a Chinese teacher from China living in Minnesota since 2018. I love traveling, and I've visited 25 states. I've also lived in Russia for two years, teaching Chinese and exploring different cities. I speak Mandarin, English, Russian, some Spanish, and a little French. I believe learning languages is an excellent way to connect with people from different backgrounds and cultures. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, biking, singing, and meeting new people. I'm open-minded and believe anyone can learn a new language with the right approach. If you want a professional and patient Chinese teacher who is passionate about language learning and cultural exchange, let's work together!翻訳を表示する
