From Morocco to Wuhan
Moroccan, living in Wuhan for over 3 years — not as a tourist but as a resident: housing, paperwork, university, neighbours, an entire daily life in Chinese.
Yassine
Chinese bl Arabia is an online Mandarin school that teaches Chinese through Arabic, led by an Arab teacher living in China, for students across the Gulf, Egypt, North Africa and the Arabic-speaking world.
A full degree there — not a "language year"
He holds a BSc in Computer Science, Hubei University of Technology (HBUT), Wuhan. That distinction matters: earning a full technical degree at a Chinese university means lectures, exams, group projects with Chinese classmates and university admin — not textbook Chinese, lived Chinese.
Why Wuhan matters
Wuhan is no expat bubble: a vast industrial and student city on the Yangtze where nobody switches to English for you at the market, the hospital or the train station. You learn Chinese there because you have to — the best teacher there is.
He learned Chinese the way you will
As an adult foreigner, by trial and error. He remembers week one, when the language felt like a wall, and he knows from experience exactly where the doors open — because he had to find them himself.
An engineer’s mind applied to language teaching
The computer science background is not a side note: it is why his lessons run like a system — clear sequencing, deliberate spaced repetition, and goals measured by what you can do rather than pages covered.
Why he teaches
Because nobody taught him in his own language when he needed it. Every resource was in English or Chinese, making the road longer than it had to be. This school is the tool he wishes had existed.

Why a non-native teacher is an advantage at your stage
A native speaker never learned Chinese — they grew up inside it. Someone who crossed the bridge as an adult carries the map: he knows the "q" sound will trip you in week one, that the third tone will hide for a month, and that 我 will look like scribbles until it suddenly becomes your signature. Teaching here isn't transferring information — it is compressing years of trial and error into a tested path.
