Pictured Clockwise: Chris, my roommate and co-conspirator. Julia, the one who teaches me Chinese culture and helps me the most with my Mandarin. Shirley, who always mans the front counter with a smile. Ben, tutor-er of the Deutsch... He is one of the Worldlink students here from Germany to learn Chinese.
We often have down-time to mingle.
When we are not planning of course. Chris and I spend a great deal of time in here working on our classes. See Doraemon there? He's HUGE here. I'm sure he's the Chinese Spongebob. Chris got that water bottle free with a tube of Colgate toothpaste.
Chris! What are you teaching these guys??? I had to step in and see this class for myself.
Well, we do get some interesting questions. That's what our students are here for, to learn the intricate bits and pieces of our language that they wouldn't otherwise be exposed to in your typical English class.
