In 1998, Micah Sittig decided to take an evening class in Mandarin Chinese at Pasadena City College.
That class sparked his interest in PCC’s Chinese language program–and began a journey he couldn’t have imagined.
Today, Micah is an international educator, who has just moved back to the U.S. after ten years of teaching both physics and math in Shanghai. Prior to that, he taught English in Tianjin–and spent a summer in Princeton’s intensive “immersion” program for advanced study of the Chinese language, Princeton in Beijing.
Micah talked about learning the Chinese language and culture, as well as his experiences working in the People’s Republic of China, and offered some learning resources.
