Hi, there! This is Candy who is from Shanghai, China and currently living in Japan^_^ I like to talk to people and to make them laugh. After I graduated from university with a PhD degree in Physical chemistry, I gradually realized that communicating and helping people suit me much more strongly as opposed to doing academic research work alone. I love people and I have a fervent passion for languages and cultures. I can speak English, Chinese, Japanese and a little Spanish. I personally believe that the best way to master a foreign language is to expose yourself to it at every opportunity and simultaneously push yourself to use it as much as possible. Writing a regular diary note is an excellent approach, though, applying what you have learned from textbooks or lessons requires great perseverance, endurance and dedication. In comparison, conversing with native speakers under relaxing circumstance is way more fun to hone language skills. Nelson Mandela once said, "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." It strikes a chord with me and is motivational in my quest to learn more languages. With my learning experience, now I hope I can share my views on the world and my passion for languages with you, as well as helping you learn Chinese and Japanese. I used to study International Education in the Univeristy of Manchester where I got a certificate. For my future students, you, please do not stop learning, as a Chinese proverb goes: "Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself."
