Mike has been learning Mandarin with CM since February 2013 as a beginner. He has gained abilities to express himself for most of situations in Mandarin with confidence. He can also read and write some Chinese too. He is going to work in Singapore, another country whose official language is Mandarin Chinese. This is a very good excuse for some Mandarin learners, language and culture lovers, and teachers, to get together to share, enjoy their experiences, and celebrate Mike's achievements within five months.
Like-minded people - teachers and learners
All the best Mike!
Happy days!
