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.

Chinese (mandarin) lessons for adults and kids of all levels
I have been giving chinese lessons for more than 10 years. Before that, I was a radio broadcaster and a journalist in China, hence I have a perfect pronunciation of the official mandarin, without any accent. It provides my students the best conditions to learn chinese, as the tone you give to words when you speak chinese as a foreigner is of great importance if you want to be understood by natives. I have a strong working experience helping students preparing their HSK exam, I also often teach diplomats, to help them acquire the necessary skills and understand properly the vocabulary specific to their job. I also love to work with kids, as I was a mandarin teacher for 2 years in an international school in Singapore. I give them a playful learning environment and use fun learning methods, so even the youngest can stay focused!

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.
