"This is an extremely good way to either learn or improve your Chinese. The teachers are very well-qualified, the scheduling is extremely flexible, and the price is unbelievably cheap -- a small fraction for what you would ordinarily have to pay in the US for such high quality one-on-one tutoring. I am recommending it to all of my students."

" The teachers are very nice and cater the material just for your Chinese language level and preferences. This is much better for me than a standard Chinese class because I can move at my own pace."

远望一堆灰,灰上蹲个龟,龟上蹲个鬼。

鬼儿无事挑担水,湿了龟的尾,
Guĭ ér wú shì tiāo dān shuĭ, shī le guī de wĕi,
龟要鬼赔龟的尾,鬼要龟赔鬼的水。

It is a pile of ash from distance where a turtle sits and a ghost sits on the turtle.
