Chinese (Mandarin): BeginnerMore details about my language interests
I began learning Mandarin Chinese because of its difficulty to keep my mind sharp. I have begun learning the basics of Korean. I was in Japan in 1970 and learned some Japanese at the time, but remember little of it. I would like to be able to have basic understanding of these languages. I would like to teach English to anyone interested in learning. I am ESL certified and have taught English to many Hispanic students in my science classes.
