About Hai Chinese

Hi there! I’m Mandy.

Grew up in Shanghai, China; Lives in Bay Area California, USA.  As a Chinese mom raising a bilingual child,a current Chinese teacher and a former marketing executive. I firmly believe that learning Chinese should be fun, engaging, and joyful! I have a strong passion for sharing my teaching experience, tips, and resources with you to learn Chinese together.

Hai 嗨 Hāi means a casual and modern way to say hello in Chinese, equivalent to saying Nǐ Hǎo 你好. 

Hai 海 Hǎi also means Sea Turtle 海龟|龜 Hai3 Gui1, which happens to be my child, Ellie’s favorite animal. Sea Turtle symbolizes patience, wisdom, endurance, and good in Chinese culture.
