Hao Chinese Academy, operated by AEON Corporation (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Suguru Shigeno; hereinafter "AEON"), will start a linked content of videos and columns as a collaboration project with creator Kazuki, who runs the YouTube channel 'Kazuki Tankenchu', starting from Tuesday, March 31, 2026.
Under the theme of 'Making travel to China more accessible and more peaceful', 'Kazuki Tankenchu' distributes videos of Kazuki's travels in China for a Japanese audience. Hao's instructors will explain the Chinese expressions used in these videos in a column. By experiencing the local atmosphere, the Chinese actually spoken, and modern Chinese society through the videos, we will make learning more enjoyable and practical.
In the first column, we will introduce 'native-sounding expressions' from a conversation between Kazuki, who is traveling in China, and his friend. The first installment is scheduled to be published on Tuesday, March 31, and thereafter, the column is planned to be updated twice a month for a total of 12 articles.
This project began with the desire to deliver 'living Chinese expressions' that are hard to encounter in textbooks alone. Hao Chinese Academy will continue to support everyone so that their Chinese learning can continue deeply and for a long time, valuing learning that includes the culture and ways of thinking behind the language, not just language acquisition.

■ Features: 'Living Chinese' acquired because it's video
1. Carefully selected native expressions rarely found in textbooks
We pick up and explain realistic phrases from the videos that appear frequently in actual conversation but have limited learning opportunities in standard textbooks.
2. Practical style of memorizing 'the whole video'
Through the footage, you can experience 'in what situations and with what nuances' the phrases are used as a set. By memorizing the entire phrase along with information entering from your ears and eyes, you will acquire practical skills that can be used immediately.
3. The most realistic Chinese affairs and improvement of learning motivation
We introduce the latest local information that changes moment by moment and realistic scenery not found in guidebooks through videos. By learning while having fun, motivation for learning Chinese will be dramatically increased.
