Valerie Lori

你好！I'm Valerie and my 趣味 include learning words in different languages, expressing universal emotions and teaching everyone through my writing. I find immense joy in unraveling the vast world of Chinese language - from saying ordinary day-to-day words, names, expressed in formal and informal ways, to uncovering the phonetic essence of unique words like 'Capsicum', 'Confucius' and 'Tapioca Pearls' in Chinese. I appreciate the simplicity of everyday conversation and hope my guides inspire you too. I also write about Hokkien, the southern Min tongue I grew curious about through Chinese, sharing how everyday words are said in it. When I'm not engrossed in linguistic curiosities, I'm likely enjoying a good cartoon or indulging in some delectable chocolate.
