Learn Mandarin From This South Pas Student

South Pas Middle School student Jeremy Sharp has posted a series of videos to YouTube in hopes of teaching others how to speak Mandarin Chinese.

 student Jeremy Sharp has been bilingual for as long as he could talk. 

When he was 5-years-old, he decided he would spread his knowledge—or "show off" as his mother says—with a series of "How To Speak Mandarin" YouTube videos. 

"He likes to do the videos," said his mom Ying, who teaches Mandarin for a living. "Kids have such easy access to computers and electronics these days."

But its not just locals who are noticing his work. Ying says she's received an email from a teacher in Taiwan and one from a parent in Beijing—both of whom want to use the "Dr. Jeremy" tutorials to teach their kids.
