Hi Gladys,

Thank you for your kind words, I’m very happy you like the site!

Best,

Olle

I am sooo lucky to stumble upon your website whilst looking up for articles on exceptions in Chinese tones as I am at the moment trying my best, studying until wee hours to learning to speak Chinese. You see I am a performer here in a certain hotel here in Qingdao and my job requires me to communicate with people. I do sing in Chinese and in some ways, modesty aside, I believe I’m doing quite well on that field. People here compliment me on my clear pronunciation but sadly only when I sing. And I am quite not sure if its a good thing that it somehow make people think that I speak Chinese too. Unfortunately I don’t, though I can somehow muster a few essential phrases.

I just want to tell you how helpful your website is for me and wish I can afford to hire you as a teacher. Maybe in the future…keeping my fingers crossed here. For now, reading your articles do help a lot and this is the only way I know (this letter) to show you my support. Thank you very much sir. You are definitely one devoted person as you encourage, help and support people like me who wishes to learn.

Again, I thank you and looking forward to more articles from you.

Best regards,
Gladys Viterbo-Lacre
