Rest in peace Moses Monweal McCormick aka laoshu505000. Moses aka Laoshu is best known for his online language learning method, The FLR Method.
Moses started his language learning journey over 20 years ago, at the age of 18, choosing to learning Mandarin-Chinese instead of a more popular language to learn like Spanish or French.
When Moses started his language learning journey, he realized that most language books didn’t teach students how to prepare for real world conversations. To solve this problem, McCormick launched The FLR (Foreign Language RoadRunning) Method which is broken down into six steps, enabling users to speak their target language on the first day of learning.
Moses has a massive YouTube audience with over 1.09 million subscribers. The following video was posted in June of 2019 and has more than 23 million views.
McCormick sadly passed away at the age of 39. He was born in Akron, Ohio and attended The Ohio State University where he studied Chinese. Prior to Ohio State, Moses graduated from North High School. He last lived in Phoenix, Arizona.
In his last Instagram post, Moses revealed that he was learning Sinhala:
