Learn Chinese and Tai Chi with Allen

SMALL MOMENTS. REAL CHINESE. REAL MOVEMENT.

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.

Start with today — 今天就从这一句开始

Today's little listen · 今天的一句

你 好

Nǐ hǎo · Hello

Listen first. Understand more. You do not have to catch every word.

01 Listen — 先听一遍 · 02 Notice — 注意声调 · 03 Say it — 跟着说一遍

mā · má · mǎ · mà

Today's one movement · 今天的一个动作

起 势

Qǐ shì · Opening — stand, breathe, lift slowly

No flexibility needed. No uniform. Ten minutes in the park, at home, or in your garden is enough.

01 Stand — 站稳 · 02 Breathe — 呼吸 · 03 Lift — 慢慢起手

Learn Tai Chi, one movement at a time

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.
