She also represented Natalie’s elementary school for their gifted program 优质教育学校代表. Natalie’s father Doug Shell is American and speaks basic mandarin. He graduated from Brown University 布朗大学 and is currently a hedge fund manager 对冲基金经理 .
In this very informal workshop the shell family will discuss the obstacles of learning Chinese in America, and how to overcome them. They will also share some hints and tips on how to improve every aspect of learning Chinese, including listening, speaking, reading and writing skills 怎样把中文的听说读写都学好.
