About
谢谢光临. Thanks for stopping by at http://hanyu.com!
My English name is Brian King and my Chinese name is 金伯恩 Jīn bóēn. I was born on the Isle of Wight, an island off the south coast of England. I have since lived in Canada, the US, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea. I currently live in Toronto.
Over the past 20 years or so I have been a teacher, researcher and academic and have taught Chinese, English and Linguistics in North America and Asia. I received my BA and MA in Linguistics from the University of Ottawa and Fu Jen University, and my PhD in Chinese Linguistics from Ohio State University.
