Zhao is one of the Chinese teachers in arabella. She said that she was proud of her students and hoped that through her teaching efforts, she could not only spread Chinese, but also promote China's unique culture. "I am really proud, just like all of us."
Zhao is full of confidence in her students. Now, arabella has become a little star in China and an emissary of Sino-US exchanges.
After receiving a degree in applied linguistics from Columbia University, Zhao worked in Carousel Language School in new york. Since last year, she has been tutoring arabella for nearly eight months. Their courses include songs, conversations and storytelling. Besides, arabella's two younger brothers are also learning Mandarin.
Zhao said, "For many years, China students have been studying English hard. I am really glad that I can spread Chinese, not only the language, but also our culture and everything in China. "
There are more than 400 foreign language students in Zhao's school, and a quarter of them are learning Chinese. Patrizia Saraceni Corman, CEO of Carousel Language School, said that this is a huge investment in education. Mandarin is becoming more and more popular, and it is obvious that this market has more and more potential.
It is reported that more and more people are learning Chinese in the United States, including mark zuckerberg, co-founder of Facebook, and Malia, daughter of former US President Barack Obama. Statistics in the United States show that Chinese is the third most popular language in the United States, after English and Spanish.
It can be seen from this incident that when China is strong, the nation will be strong, more and more people will learn our Chinese, and Chinese will go out of the world.
