Learn Chinese and Tai Chi with Allen
A little Chinese, a little Tai Chi, every day.
慢慢来 — Take your time.
No rush, no test. Just one small thing a day, said slowly, moved slowly.
照片占位:一张就够 — 公园晨练,树影下一个人慢慢起势(待 Allen 本人照片替换)

Not just what happened — why it matters in China, in plain English, with the Chinese words you need to follow it.
语言是说的文化,太极是动的文化。Language spoken, culture moved.
About Allen
I'm Allen. I teach Chinese and Tai Chi to people outside China, in clear English, at a slow pace — one sentence, one movement, one day at a time. More about Allen.
Everything on this site is free for now. Course collections and one-to-one online lessons will come later, once these sections have built up. For now, just follow along — and contact Allen if you want to say hello or tell him what you would like to learn: Chinese, Tai Chi, or both.
