The teacher behind our Method

Lili Hao Handcrafted curriculum

Lili spent years teaching Mandarin on college campuses, so she knows exactly where new learners get stuck and exactly how to fix it. Her Master's in Chinese Linguistics means that when Chinese gets hard and it all seems to make no sense, she shows you the logic underneath instead of telling you to memorize. And because the entire curriculum is hers, every lesson knows what you've already learned and builds on it. You're never dropped into a video that assumes things nobody taught you.

"Very accurate lessons!!!" When I moved to Varese I had to find a new way to study and, thank goodness, I found Lili and ChineseFor.Us!

"The most in-depth course you'll find. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. While looking at their HSK 1 Course, I found myself learning new things even though I'm preparing for an HSK 5 exam."

"Great video! Simple and clearly explained! That's the true way to teach! 你们做的视频做得非常好!" (The videos that you make are made very well!)
