Hi there, welcome to Qiqi\u2019s Lingoland!<\/p>\n

My name is \u9ec4\u65b9\u9e92 \u2018Hu\u00e1ng F\u0101ngq\u00ed\u2019. \u2018Hu\u00e1ng\u2019 is my surname, \u2018F\u0101ngq\u00ed\u2019 my first name. (\u2018Q\u00ed\u2019 sounds similar to the mysterious energy \u2018chi\u2019 \u2013 I\u2019m not \u2018Funky\u2019!) \u2018Q\u00edq\u00ed\u2019 is my nickname, and Akiko, my Japanese name. That\u2019s a whole lot for one person, but well, I like them all! Students call me by various names too: Hu\u00e1ng l\u01ceosh\u012b, F\u0101ngq\u00ed l\u01ceosh\u012b, Q\u00edq\u00ed l\u01ceosh\u012b,\u00a0Hu\u00e1ng sensei and\u00a0Akiko sensei. \u2018L\u01ceosh\u012b\u2018 and \u2018sensei\u2018 both mean \u2018teacher\u2019 \u2013 the former Chinese, the latter Japanese.<\/p>\n

Here’s a bit about me: Am a true-blue language buff, currently learning Korean and Tibetan. I enjoy housekeeping and get a kick out of spring-cleaning. Big time animal lover and recharge myself by watching animal pictures and videos. Huge jigsaw puzzle fan and can\u2019t stop once I start. Had zero interest in sports until I got hooked on Taijiquan (aka Taichi). Hopeless at maths and can\u2019t read maps.<\/p>\n

It is my dream that Qiqi\u2019s Lingoland become a platform where foreign language lovers could enhance their learning experience, and where even non-lovers could appreciate and enjoy the beauty of foreign languages. A foreign language, well, being foreign, often sounds strange.\u00a0But if we give ourselves a chance to get closer to it, gradually, it becomes something familiar, and might even become soothing to the ears. Windows open up, and life is filled with more vibrant and lively colours. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get closer to strange and foreign lingoes. And remove the fence dividing \u2018my\u2019 culture and \u2018yours\u2019!<\/p>\n
