Teaching Chinese in Bangladesh without knowing Bangla

Yang Jinxiang, a teacher from China Languages University who speaks neither 
English nor Bangla, is teaching Chinese in Dhaka University.

What has impressed people about her most is not teaching Chinese in a foreign 
country, but her style of teaching.

Yang cannot speak Bangla, the mother tongue of Bangladeshis, or English, the 
widely spoken language in the country. But over the last two years, there are 
19 students in her class who will get scholarships from the Chinese government 
to study in China.
