About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Kin Man, postgraduate scholarship holder (Bolseiro de Mérito de Pós-Graduados) of the Macau government, is currently a PhD student under Prof. Dr. Undine Frömming in the field of Visual and Media Anthropology.

In 1987, he was born in Macao, the son of Cantonese illegal immigrants from the PRC, then "Chinese territory under Portuguese administration". Studied Lusitanian at the University of Macau and Portuguese as a Foreign Language at the Universities of Coimbra and Lisbon with several grants. His bachelor's thesis, which is based on his documentary film about Macau's identity in Europe and North America, made a special mention of Macau's “Young Research Award” in 2010. After completing his professional training as an interpreter at the European Commission, he worked as a translator at the Macanese Office for Language Affairs, which was the office for Sinian affairs in colonial Macau and therefore brought him far-reaching inspiration in relation to postcolonialism.

2012 - 2014 completed the master's program "Visual and Media Anthropology" at the Free University of Berlin and a research internship in the field of sociology at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. His master's degree film “A Useless Fiction” won awards in Canada, Spain, the United States, China and India and was shown in more than twenty countries. He has been writing for the press occasionally for over a decade, and has been curating international film and video programs for two years.

Experience / Qualifications

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
In 2014 I completed a B2 certificate preparatory course at the Goethe Institute in Singapore. After two years of actively participating in various courses at FU Berlin and adult education centers and the professional experience mentioned above, I am now very used to the German language. I am aware that my German level has a lot of leeway, but my many years of experience as a translator allow me to have a fine sense of culture.

Xingying
Learn Chinese from A1 to C2, from having fun to prepare test
I run private lessons, where all levels are welcome. But if you’re a total beginner then I offer basic classes to help you find the way to get into it. I develop diverse methods of teaching for the students. For the around 5-8 years old kids, I would like to set certain games to play with them, thereby the kids can learn the new language during the interaction and communication. In this way, different media, like color pictures, puppets, or storybooks are essential to make the course very attractive. For the teenager or advanced students, a structuralized teaching content based on scenarios or textbook could help the students to develop their language capacity efficiently in different aspects – listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Besides, I would like to give a deeper perspective for the Chinese- not only learning the language from the textbooks, but also the knowledge of the language, the culture, and the literature. Also, based on your need and situation, we choose different textbooks and make a personal teaching plan for you.

Lauretta
Mandarin Chinese for anyone! One-to-one tailored lessons
Private tutoring should be engaging, interactive, and most importantly fun. Although I can’t promise my teaching material will be fun, I will make sure the learning environment is friendly, stress-free, and interesting. I will be teaching with the Chinese National Putonghua Shuiping Ceshi system, which offers the most prestigious and accurate Mandarin learning opportunities across Asia. In these lessons, you will learn pronunciation, vocabulary, sentence formation, listening, storytelling, and eventually reading skills. By reading stories and entry level literature pieces, general comprehension ability can be boosted. We will start from Pinyin (romanised spelling of Chinese words), and finish at reading passages.
