Originally from China, I studied French in Wuhan, Paris, and Vancouver. I have a master's degree in French literature. I have been teaching French at the university level (UBC and Langara College) for 10 years. As a language learner myself, I enjoy sharing my learning strategies and passion for culture with my students. I love cinema and classic crime fiction (novels and films), but I prefer Agatha Christie to Georges Simenon. I also speak Japanese and a little Spanish, practice Chinese calligraphy, and enjoy yoga: if any of these topics interest you, let's talk about them!
