Praise for Mike The coolest Chinese teacher out there. Totally rad!! confusedlaowai.com Like a rock star teacher. Excellent for beginners. Entertaining too! socialmandarin.com As an instructor, I have found Prof. Hainzinger's teaching material was very practical; it was very easy to be inserted into our classroom activities because of its fragmented structural style, and its companying video files. In addition, the students really appreciated the lively style of the text, as well the vivid video contributions. Yuxiang Liu Lecturer in Chinese, EALC The University of Chicago
