The italki team is taking the Language Challenge to learn Chinese We are taking the Challenge too! and if we can do it anyone can! The 2015 New Years Language Challenge has begun and were so excited that so many of you have chosen to participate in our biggest challenge ever! 3 of our very own italki Staff have also decided to participate in the New Years Language Challenge to learn Chinese.  All of them have made Public Video Pledges to learn Chinese! Were going to be following their progress on a special italki staff New Years Language Challenge update  page here.  All 3 of our staff will be posting videos and making weekly blog posts about their experiences taking the Language Challenge to learn Chinese. Karthik, Data Scientist Karthik is from the U.S. and works as our Data Scientist.  He has been trying to learn Chinese before with no results. Now he wants to challenge himself to speak with his Chinese colleagues. Josie, Services and Operations Josie recently joined italki from the U.K.  She is part of the Services and Operations team at italki.  She has been to China a few times but has never been disciplined enough to study Mandarin. Aimé, Marketing Intern Aimé is a recent college grad from the Canada who came to Shanghai to do internship at italki. So how much Chinese can they learn in 20 hours? Visit this blog for weekly updates or go directly to the special italki staff Challenge Update page to keep track of their progress!  We also put up a discussion post so you can comment on how well (or poorly they are doing?).
