Hi, everyone! Wanna use RedNote? Learn with me! I am Jack, a trained linguist, and U.S. nationally certified medical interpreter. I also created a YouTube channel for my students: Panda Knows Linguistics. Please check it out!
I am a Chinese native with a Japanese heritage living in Colorado, USA since 2009. I speak Chinese, Japanese, and English fluently. I am a passionate linguist and have learned many languages including Latin, Ancient Greek, Swahili, Finnish, and Swedish. I have been teaching Chinese and Japanese since 2010.
*Notice* I am not accepting students younger than college level (18 years old) due to lack of such training. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I hold two Masters degrees from the University of Colorado - Japanese Language and Civilization, and Linguistics. The former provided me with extensive training in translation, interpretation, and literary analysis from both historical and modern perspectives. Linguistics offered me the theoretical and practical basis for teaching a foreign language. I am especially interested in applying phonetic and phonological strategies to classroom teaching in order to prepare students for a native-like pronunciation and intuition. I am a native Chinese Mandarin speaker with Japanese heritage. With the educational training mentioned above, I am capable of teaching both languages.
I believe language learning should be fun for both students and teachers. No matter you want to perfect Chinese or Japanese skills after a few ye...Meu material de ensino

I don't normally write reviews after having done a couple lessons with a teacher, but what I had with Jack today was MINDBLOWINGLY good. He definitely deserves at least twice what he gets here for today's lesson!
We had speaking practice and thanks to Jack's expertise in phonology, he looked up what sounds are available in my language and compared them to Chinese. Then he helped me practice and explained how is it that even if I hear the difference between his and mine version, both are correct. The explanation had pretty much an academic aspect to it, so I'm super glad I got a linguistics graduate as a teacher.
Huge thanks, Jack!

Jack is EXCELLENT. His genuine enthusiasm about language learning is infectious! Re: Chinese pronunciation (which was the most intimidating part of learning Chinese for me), Jack gave detailed explanations about tongue placement which helped me a lot. Looking forward to the next one. :)

Can't say enough great things about Jack as a teacher. He is enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I am sure that his unique skills as a linguist further contribute to helping me understand not just the "what" of Chinese, but more importantly the "why" and "how". Thanks for another great lesson!

Such a great lesson with Jack this morning! I feel like he understood my goals immediately and was able to help me with what I didn't know and make me feel good about what I did know - not always easy! Definitely looking forward to future lessons with him
