On today’s episode I talk to inspirational Mandarin Teacher and founder of the website www.mslmaster.com April Zhang. 


April is also the brains behind the annual Chinese Writing Challenge, a competition for Chinese learners of all levels, who are invited to write a story using only 320 characters. 


The winners of the competition will then have their story published in a book.  


Last year, 82 submissions were received. The best 17 entries were published. These newly published authors were from eight different countries and regions around the world.


This year Imlearningmandarin.com are proud collaborators of the competition. So I encourage all of you to take part to connect with other learners from around the world and for the chance to become a published Chinese author. 


I spoke to April about her background in teaching Chinese  her inspirations for starting the competition as well as details of how those interested in participating can enter.
