About Me
I’m Grace Guo from Taiwan, with a master’s degree in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language from National Taiwan University and experience teaching at a university in the U.S. My passion for Chinese linguistics and phonetics has inspired me to study extensively, conduct research, and share what I’ve learned by creating over 180 instructional videos. These videos have reached over 10 million views on YouTube and are used in Chinese language classrooms to help learners improve their skills.
