Christopher John Lonsdale (born November 18, 1958 in Christchurch, New Zealand) is a psychologist, linguist and educator^[1]. His adopted Chinese name is 龙飞虎 (Traditional Chinese: 龍飛虎; pinyin: lóng fēi hǔ)^[2]. Lonsdale created the Kungfu English learning system^[3]^[4] and is also the author of The Third Ear.

Lonsdale graduated from the University of Canterbury in 1980 with first-class honours.^[5] After graduation, he moved to China to study Mandarin Chinese at the Beijing Language and Culture University, and martial arts at the Beijing Sport University.^[6]

In 1984, Lonsdale moved to Hong Kong, where he learned Cantonese Chinese. His book, The Third Ear, is based on his personal experience of learning foreign languages and his training in psychology.

Lonsdale worked in public relations and environmental consulting before starting his own corporate advisory firm in 1994. The company, Chris Lonsdale and Associates Ltd, (Simplified Chinese: 龙氏顾问行有限公司; Traditional Chinese: 龍氏顧問行有限公司) provides leadership and business strategy coaching to senior executives and teams. Lonsdale has worked with companies such as Coca-Cola, Yum! Brands, JP Morgan, AIA and Standard Chartered bank.^[7]^[8]
