My Mandarin Experience promise

My journey with Mandarin Started in 2007 when I first arrived in Taiwan to teach English.
I decided to immediately start learning Chinese for 3 main reasons.

I wanted to understand the world around me.
To better teach a foreign langauge, I should have the experience of learning one.
It's really cool making funny sounds that people understand and reading weird characters !!

So I started to study....

2007 - 2008 2 x 74 hour group classes.
2007 - 2010 about 100 hours of language exchange and private tutoring.
2007 - 2012 at least 2 - 10 hours of self study every week.
2010 - 2011 300 hours of group and private class.
2011 about 50 hours teaching basic Chinese.
2012 300 hours of group class.
2013 100 hours of group class

TOTAL: approx 1250 hours.

And I wrote 10 SCTOP tests (including pilot tests) and passed...

TOP Basic on 1 November 2008
TOP Learner on 6 November 2010
TOP Superior on 5 May 2012

My Promise

:( Obviously I am not a native speaker of Mandarin Chinese, therefore I cannot and will not promise that all my material is 100% flawless in grammar and spelling.

:) I can promise that people will understand you when you use my stuff!

All words and sentences were taken from real life situations where I used them.

Most has been checked by native speakers.
