For anyone interested in learning Chinese, we have recently got to know a friend called Hsueh ShaoLan who's developed a great way to start out learning Chinese, especially if you're interested in the characters! She's also just shared our song :)!
我們新認識的朋友ShaoLan剛分享了我們的歌，她創造了一個學中文的方式，很厲害！
Hello friends! Shall we have a little bit of music to welcome our upcoming weekend?
I had a super intensive week. First I went to TED Global in Edinburgh for a few days. Then I came back to London for a gathering in Downing Street (YES! That Downing Street!). I then rushed to Hertfordshire for another amazing conference called Founder’s Forum. And of course, everyone loves Chineasy (yay!). :D
One of the friends in Chineasy Club approached me a few weeks ago. His name is Josh Edbrooke. Josh is a member of Transition, a rock band based in Bristol. Josh and I had green tea one afternoon and I just fell in love with their music.
The coolest thing is that all the three members in the team sing in Chinese! Josh spent a few years in Taiwan and learned how to speak and write Chinese. He wrote all the lyric himself, and I must tell you, his writing is incredible!
Enjoy the song! And tell me if you like it. Josh and I are now friends and we will share more songs with you.
Here is a documentary that they made about their time in Taiwan, it tells something of the story of what they did there. I had a great time watching it and I am sure you will too. http://bit.ly/14zaANB
