Teacher: MIN HUA LIM
Min has been studying and living in 8 different countries during the past two decades. The more she travels, the more she is fascinated by distinct languages and cultures. Since she settled down in Sydney 5 years ago, she has choosen teaching as her career. She has been teaching children and adults Cantonese and Mandarin. She combined her language teaching with cultural lessons, as well as traditional food tasting. She believes a bonding with the culture would provide long lasting motivation for the students to learn the language.
