Learn Mandarin, Lingerie style

Surely, learning Mandarin is no easy task.

But after watching this video, you may want to learn it anyway, never mind its intricacies.

Named sexymandarin.com, the website offers you a chance to learn the language in an unconventional way. Bikini-clad babes take the place of conventional teachers, posing suggestively of course, teaching you the first lessons.

The brainchild of a Tokyo-born model and designer, Miss Kaoru Kikuchi, the project is aimed to make Mandarin more accessible, The Telegraph reported.

Miss Kikuchi, a University of Nottingham architecture graduate, said: “If you go the textbook way with all these Chinese characters, it just makes you intimidated. If you start with the colloquial way…or sexy clips, it is a different story.”

The website has become a runaway hit since its launch late last year, the report said.

The course’s first lesson – entitled “What time is it?” – is conducted by two lingerie-wearing models who make pillow talk while grappling with each other on a bed. Not surprisingly, this lesson has received more than 300,000 hits.

A lesson on cooking vocabulary shows a model sucking suggestively on a lime. Another class features female “tutors” cleaning a black London cab with foamy sponges.

Teachers who intend to teach Mandarin the “unconventional” way are asked to submit their full-size photo and “any relevant modelling or teaching experience”.

But a touch of seriousness is introduced through “Mr Fung”, a bespectacled cartoon schoolmaster who moderates the classes.

Even though many have taken to the website on a regular basis, some are not all impressed with its teaching methods.

Hong Kong’s Association for the Advancement of Feminism’s chairman, Ms Annie Chan, told a newspaper SexyMandarin.com “exoticised” Chinese women.

Ms Sue-Mei Thompson, executive director of HongKong’s Women’s Foundation, told the China Daily newspaper that the group was “vehemently opposed to gender stereotyping, especially anything that objectifies women as sex objects”.

Ms Wu Yue, a teacher from Beijing’s Mandarin Connection school, said the site’s teaching-style was “just about calling attention”.

She said: “It is very entertaining and might be good for marketing and promotion, but (it is) not good for serious language learning. Students would get easily distracted during a class featuring sexual content.”

They’re not sexting shots, or anything you haven’t seen before. The pics in question were taken in 2010 while she was shooting the video for her single, “Who Owns My Heart.” And she was 17, legal at the time.

However, among the sexy, behind-the-scenes photos, the Can’t Be Tamed singer’s vamping it up like she wants to be spanked and doing some same-sex flirting with her makeup artist Denika Bedrossian.

So, if you’re into panty shots and girl on girl action—this is your lucky day! Otherwise just carry on about your business.
