My name is Mike Laoshi (Teacher Mike). I must warn you that my teaching style is highly addictive, so if you have a family, career or social life, you may want to put those on hold for a little while.

Why Chinese with Mike?
Chinese with Mike is 100% new and breaks with traditional Chinese curricula. Using my witty sense of humor, mixed with a logical, step-by-step approach, I shield learners from the unnecessary complexities of Chinese. Through a blend of 60 short, highly addictive video lessons, a coursebook and audio, I'll teach you essential Chinese in no time. More importantly, you get a little one-on-one action with ME, as I make learning Chinese ridiculously easy--and fun!

What will I learn?
Season 3: Learn to tell people the milk is in the refrigerator and your dirty clothes are under the bed. You'll also learn about jobs, dreams, and measure words so you can brag about how many "Chinese with Mike" episodes you've completed.
Season 4: Takes all of the elements of the first three seasons and ties them together. You'll learn some new adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, and conjunctions, and best of all, you'll get to watch Mike Laoshi's ballet lesson and retirement press conference.
Season 5: This was never meant to be, but Mike Laoshi was lured out of retirement. You'll learn how to make comparisons (I am smarter than you) and use superlatives (This is the best Chinese book ever!). Also talk about the past and the future, ask your mom how she prepares her favorite recipe, and use transitions to put events in sequence.
