Teacher: Min Hua
As a native Mandarin and Cantonese speaker, I can read and write traditional and simplified Chinese. I have been teaching in community language schools and Sydney Language Solutions for 3 years. I am currently working on my master of teaching in Macquarie University.
I have a special interest in Chinese/Cantonese history and culture. Having lived in eight different countries in the world, I have in-depth intercultural knowledge. The more I see the world, the more I see in my own culture. You can always learn the words and expressions through a comparative cultural lens in my class.
My personal interests are cooking and gardening. It is always fascinating to see how we name food and plants and use them as metaphors in Chinese. My favorite thing to do in class is sharing traditional Cantonese dessert with my students!
