Gina Pell's Chineasy Story

As an aspiring polyglot and career-long creative director I was blown away the first time I met ShaoLan and discovered her elegant, ingenious Chineasy system. My son was only 8 when he first saw the book. Chineasy fascinated and inspired him completely. And when it came time to choose a language to learn in school he chose Mandarin. I listened to ShaoLan’s podcast series and found it as charming as it is informative.
