- About Us

We are headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Arch Chinese is an online Mandarin Chinese learning service founded in 2008 by Lisa Zhao, an experienced Mandarin Chinese teacher at St. Louis Modern Chinese School and St Louis County Library Asian Center. Arch Chinese came about because we were unable to find good Mandarin Chinese learning resources on the web for students at St. Louis Modern Chinese School. Our mission is to develop a quality online Mandarin Chinese learning platform to help serious Chinese language learners study Mandarin Chinese in a practical, effective and enjoyable manner. Arch Chinese is tailored for English speakers that have no or little knowledge of Mandarin Chinese. We strive to make this learning service easy-to-use and effective.

Since the beta release, we have received great feedback from many users around the world. Special thanks to the following individuals for their guidance and suggestions:

Professor Tim Xie, Department of Asian and Asian American Studies, California State University, Long Beach, USA
Professor Hongyin Tao, Chinese Language and Linguistics & Applied Linguistics and TESL, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, University of California, Los Angeles, USA
Julia Espina Cambridge, UK
Alex Mitrofanov Vancouver, BC, Canada

Thanks HSK Flashcards for some of the word lists. The character writing worksheet generation would not be possible without the support from www.stlplace.com.
