Mandarin Oral Language Teaching (daily conversation practice)

Mandarin is difficult to pronounce, and often poses pronunciation challenges? Chinese grammar is highly variable, making it hard to grasp precise meanings. There is an urgent need to converse with native Chinese speakers to improve language intuition. This course will use simple games to facilitate conversation practice, helping to develop language intuition and improve spoken Mandarin. You will learn to use Mandarin in real-life situations.

In this course, you'll learn how to engage in everyday conversations, improve your pronunciation, and understand the nuances of Mandarin tones. I've designed this course as a practical guide to Mandarin that's specifically tailored for those eager to speak the language.

You'll practice essential phrases, participate in interactive dialogues, and use advanced techniques to not only improve your speaking abilities but also to build confidence in real-life situations. Whether you're preparing for travel, enhancing your professional skills, or simply interested in the language, this course will provide you with the tools you need to succeed.

Gwendolyn
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!

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.
