I am pursuing a master's degree in linguistics for teaching
English to speakers of other languages. My university is in the United
States, but this year, one of my classmates is Min (not her real name), an
English teacher on a fellowship from China. Min already has a master's
degree in linguistics, and teaches English writing, grammar, and linguistics at
a prestigious Chinese university. I'm going to graduate in May, and have
been planning to apply for teaching jobs in China. So when Min offered to
teach me basic Mandarin Chinese, I jumped at the chance. Who wouldn't,
when there's a chance to go to China without leaving home?
