About the author

I once heard that everyone carries a mission when he or she comes to this world.

I realized something important: to help learners radically increase efficiency in the learning process, they first needed to understand this language. That is, they needed to know the specific way of thinking beneath the surface and to catch the rationalities in rules and the ways in which to apply them. It is similar to how we learn math: we always focus on the philosophies and approaches, and we never try to memorize the equations and the results.

Most people find great pleasure in thinking and creating in their own way, but it also calls for more hard work to make any progress. In the coming days, I will do just like many others would do with their own dreams. I want to fulfill my mission well: to create good things for learners so that they can learn this ancient and vibrant language in a much easier and interesting way.
