Hello, fellow learners! My name is Teresa Chappell, and over the next twelve weeks, I’ll be sharing my experiences in Wuhan, China with you! I’m excited to relay what I learn about this incredible country, its culture and its language.
I’m currently living and working in Wuhan, China. I teach English to college freshman and sophomores at Wuhan University of Technology. Wuhan is a pretty bustling city! There are about 35 universities in Wuhan, so there are many young students living here. The population may be young, but Wuhan has a very rich history dating all the way back to antiquity! Wuhan even played a part in the fall of the Qing dynasty! I can’t wait to explore Wuhan’s history some more with you by my side.
While I’m here, I hope to experience as much Chinese culture as I can. I aim to create lasting connections with Wuhan’s people and gain a deeper understanding of both the city's and the country’s culture. I will definitely be practicing my language skills, which will help me make friends and learn more about everyday life in the city.
I hope our exchange will take us all on a journey toward more knowledge! Are you ready?
