Hi I'm Andrew Scheuermann

00:02.792 --> 00:07.172 position:50% align:middle
As you may know, a lot of the top electronic manufacturers have significant presence in China

00:07.275 --> 00:09.275 position:50% align:middle
And many of them are headquartered there as well

00:10.222 --> 00:16.689 position:50% align:middle
So learning Chinese was first and foremost of utmost importance and interest to me from a business perspective

00:16.759 --> 00:19.144 position:50% align:middle
To be able to better understand my customers and partners

00:19.318 --> 00:23.925 position:50% align:middle
Where they come from, what they're thinking and build better collaborations with them

00:23.978 --> 00:25.978 position:50% align:middle
Both now and in the future

00:26.269 --> 00:33.147 position:50% align:middle
Before studying with KellynKai, there were a lot of things that were challenging about Chinese for me as as I'm sure it could be for you

00:34.154 --> 00:36.154 position:50% align:middle
One is pronouncing tones correctly

00:36.565 --> 00:37.850 position:50% align:middle
Man, that is challenging

00:38.181 --> 00:44.982 position:50% align:middle
Building vocabulary, and getting just a more intuitive sense of the language versus just a book smart sense of it

00:45.344 --> 00:49.037 position:50% align:middle
The live interactions with my tutor really helped with that

00:49.112 --> 00:56.385 position:50% align:middle
One is, you know, pronouncing tones in realtime, getting immediate feedback, just really helps you improve in a way that is hard to do otherwise

00:57.146 --> 00:59.442 position:50% align:middle
And it makes vocabulary building fun

01:00.020 --> 01:04.543 position:50% align:middle
And again, the language is intuitive, which is exactly what I was looking for

01:05.590 --> 01:08.048 position:50% align:middle
I've been learning on KellynKai since about last July

01:08.582 --> 01:09.362 position:50% align:middle
So about six months

01:10.011 --> 01:14.075 position:50% align:middle
And I've gone from a basic, kind of book-style, level 1, you know, one year type understanding

01:14.259 --> 01:17.942 position:50% align:middle
To being able to actually use the language in basic conversations

01:18.708 --> 01:23.544 position:50% align:middle
I love having a couple words and phases that I can always go to with my tutor

01:24.136 --> 01:25.936 position:50% align:middle
Even basic things like 

01:26.255 --> 01:27.045 position:50% align:middle
Like I understand

01:27.527 --> 01:33.537 position:50% align:middle
And a variety of phrases that just keep us conversing in Chinese as much as possible as I slowly add more vocabulary

01:34.620 --> 01:39.595 position:50% align:middle
And that really contributes, again, to that vocabulary building and making it intuitive, which is exactly what I've been looking for

01:40.421 --> 01:44.223 position:50% align:middle
Another thing is just being able to understand faster dialog coming at me

01:44.761 --> 01:47.497 position:50% align:middle
KellynKai, I think is a great choice for a lot of people

01:47.741 --> 01:49.741 position:50% align:middle
Definitely business learners as well as others

01:49.758 --> 01:51.758 position:50% align:middle
First and foremost because of the tutors

01:51.797 --> 01:53.217 position:50% align:middle
And the interactive style

01:53.273 --> 01:56.861 position:50% align:middle
It's more similar to if you were actually immersed in the culture, how you'd be learning

01:56.960 --> 01:59.623 position:50% align:middle
I don't have as much time as I wish to do it all the time

01:59.723 --> 02:05.640 position:50% align:middle
But it really helps to have interactive tutors that are smart, helpful, and just fun to learn from

02:05.640 --> 02:07.640 position:50% align:middle
I hope you consider the program
