The beauty of the Chinese language

I talk about Chinese language and culture at events and on my YouTube channel, characters, tones, food, and life in Xi'an.

🎬My Chinese videos on YouTubeA playlist all about the Chinese language (explained in German).

Time in China

Almost two years of my life, spread across several stays. I immersed myself at language schools, lived with host families, did an internship in Beijing, and made dear friends all over the country. My favourite city is Xi'an, where the Silk Road begins; I've also wandered through Yunnan and Hainan.
