10 Most Frequently-used Chinese Measure Words
As a Chinese English-language-learner, I was trying to find a measure word subconsciously. Few English nouns require measure words, and literally every Mandarin noun needs a measure word.

Read on to see 3 fantastic gifts “HongGuan” would surprise you with love and creativity.
跟我教汉语 | “不可以”VS“可以不”
昨天Charles上完Mandarin Inn的在线汉语课程后，发微信关心他正在家里隔离的朋友Sandy，问她这周末可不可以出门了，Sandy回答：“我的隔离期要下周末才结束，这周末我还不可以出门。” 于是，Charles只好安慰Sandy：“那我给你推荐一些APP吧，这样你可以不出门就看到热门电影。” 很多外国同学将不可以与可以不都翻译为can't，但从以上Charles和Sandy的交谈可以看出，不可以与可以不的三个汉字虽然是一模一样的，说话人表达的意思却不一样。 朋友，如果你是一名国际中文教师，当你在进行汉语教学时，你准备怎样向同学们解释呢？
3 Myths about Tai Chi – Busted!
Like many, my knowledge of Tai Chi is limited to the idea that it’s a slow sport for elderly people, usually men who like to get up early and practice in parks. You’ve seen them around Shanghai too right? Maybe even back home in your country? A recent Tai Chi workshop at Mandarin Inn surprised […]
跟我教汉语 | “吃不了”有几个意思？

Having lived overseas myself (St Louis, Illinois), I recall being ever so busy and not really putting myself out there to enrich my experience the way […]
跟我教汉语 | “以前”与“从前”
Lynn看了几期养生节目后，为了保持身体健康，调整了自己的作息时间和餐饮偏好。“改过自新”的她常常会把这几句话挂在嘴边： 以前我总是熬夜。 从前我的生活作息非常不规律。 我以前特别爱喝酒。 我从前不怎么喜欢吃蔬菜和水果。 Lynn来Mandarin Inn学习汉语前，老是觉得这些句子中的以前和从前可以互相替换，不影响句子意思的表达和理解。这十分正常，初学汉语的外国人有很大可能会混淆这两个汉语词，“以前”和“从前”。 朋友，作为国际中文教师的你是怎么向他们解释的呢？
How to move to China in 90 days – Part 1 (and not necessarily teach English)
For the past couple of years I’ve been wanting to see Asia and I knew it needed to be more than a 2 or 3 week vacation. One day I looked around and decided that nothing was keeping me in Canada but some cute family dogs (sorry family, I guess there’s you too.) So I booked a flight and let my 2 connections in China know that I was on my way!
