About Arnie
Ni hao! I'm Arnie, a native Mandarin speaker with native-level English fluency and over 30 years of life experience across Southeast Asia, North America, Taiwan, Mainland China, and Australia. While I don't hold formal teaching certificates, I offer something equally valuable: authentic, real-world language practice with deep cultural context.
I understand both how Chinese people think and how Western learners think because I've lived both worlds. Whether you're preparing for a business trip to Shanghai, planning travel to Chengdu, reconnecting with your heritage, or simply wanting to practice conversation without judgment, I'm here to help you speak with confidence and cultural awareness.
