Shanghai, March 8, 2002

I knew professor Liu three years ago when I arrived at Beijing, China, to teach Italian language in the University of International Business and Economics (UIBE).

Professor Liu used to teach foreign students Chinese at the same university with me.

He also taught me, my colleagues, my children, who are university students at Rome, Italy, and the children of the military attach¨¦'s at the Italian embassy in Beijing.

Mr Liu has a unique methodology of teaching Chinese that makes the class lively and easily understood. His explanations of grammar are clear and easy to follow and we can ask questions in English and get the answer right away, which saves students much time.

I will be happy to answer any other questions you may have concerning Professor Liu's teaching Chinese. I am currently working at Shanghai International Studies University (SISU).
