She has been very encouraging and fun to learn from the last few years. We laugh so much at my lessons, whether in person or on Skype. Sometimes, we even finish the same sentence in Chinese together, like cross-cultural twins. \ud83d\ude42 And did I mention she makes yummy dumplings?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_33909\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33909\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/funlearningchinese.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-33909 size-medium\" title=\"fun learning chinese logo\" src=\"http:\/\/dailyimprovisations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/fun-learning-chinese-header-yellow-red-corners-790x280-300x106.jpg\" alt=\"Come visit me over at funlearningchinese.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailyimprovisations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/fun-learning-chinese-header-yellow-red-corners-790x280-300x106.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailyimprovisations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/fun-learning-chinese-header-yellow-red-corners-790x280-1024x363.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-33909\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Come visit me over at funlearningchinese.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now.
