Hi I'm Andrew Scheuermann
As you may know, a lot of the top electronic manufacturers have significant presence in China
And many of them are headquartered there as well
So learning Chinese was first and foremost of utmost importance and interest to me from a business perspective
To be able to better understand my customers and partners
Where they come from, what they're thinking and build better collaborations with them
Both now and in the future
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
One is pronouncing tones correctly
Man, that is challenging
Building vocabulary, and getting just a more intuitive sense of the language versus just a book smart sense of it
The live interactions with my tutor really helped with that
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
And it makes vocabulary building fun
And again, the language is intuitive, which is exactly what I was looking for
I've been learning on KellynKai since about last July
So about six months
And I've gone from a basic, kind of book-style, level 1, you know, one year type understanding
To being able to actually use the language in basic conversations
I love having a couple words and phases that I can always go to with my tutor
Even basic things like
Like I understand
And a variety of phrases that just keep us conversing in Chinese as much as possible as I slowly add more vocabulary
And that really contributes, again, to that vocabulary building and making it intuitive, which is exactly what I've been looking for
Another thing is just being able to understand faster dialog coming at me
KellynKai, I think is a great choice for a lot of people
Definitely business learners as well as others
First and foremost because of the tutors
And the interactive style
It's more similar to if you were actually immersed in the culture, how you'd be learning
I don't have as much time as I wish to do it all the time
But it really helps to have interactive tutors that are smart, helpful, and just fun to learn from
I hope you consider the program
