Chinese language and culture speaking writing reading
Learn Chinese language and culture with a lot of fun. The approach helps you remember easily and apply in the daily life or work environments. The Chinese culture such as Chinese calligraphy, festivals, life and work culture will open your view towards China and help you understand and branding in Chinese context.
By combining Phonetic Training, Repetition and Drills, Interactive Activities, Visual and Audio Aids, Feedback and Correctionteachers, Culturally Relevant Materials, Use of Technology, Structured Language Lessons, I create a diverse and engaging learning environment that assists students in mastering the Chinese language and improving their pronunciation effectively.
Tailoring Chinese lessons to a student’s learning style and preferences involves a combination of assessing their individual needs, adapting teaching methods, and creating a personalized learning plan. Here’s how I approach it:
1. Understanding Learning Styles
Initial Assessment: I start with a questionnaire or discussion to understand how the student learns best—visually, auditorily, kinesthetically, or through reading and writing.
Trial Activities: Observing their engagement during different activities (e.g., flashcards, conversations, or listening exercises) helps confirm their preferences.
2. Personalized Content
Relevant Topics: Incorporate the student’s interests (e.g., travel, business, pop culture) to make lessons engaging.
Cultural Integration: If they’re interested in Chinese culture, history, or traditions, I integrate cultural anecdotes, idioms, or holiday practices into the curriculum.
Professional Needs: For those learning Chinese for work, I focus on industry-specific vocabulary and scenarios.
3. Methodology Adjustments
Visual Learners: Use diagrams, flashcards, and videos to teach characters, grammar structures, and tones.
Auditory Learners: Focus on listening and speaking activities, such as audio recordings, songs, and conversational practice.
Kinesthetic Learners: Incorporate hands-on activities like stroke order practice, role-playing scenarios, or physical games to reinforce learning.
Reading/Writing Learners: Provide text-heavy materials, exercises, and encourage journaling or essay writing in Chinese.
4. Adapting the Pacing
Some students prefer a structured approach with grammar rules and systematic progress, while others thrive in a more immersive and conversational environment. I adjust the lesson flow accordingly.
5. Technology and Resources
Recommend apps, online tools, or games tailored to their style (e.g., Skritter for visual learners, podcasts for auditory learners).
Share supplementary materials like interactive ebooks, videos, or worksheets that align with their pace and interests.
6. Feedback and Flexibility
Regularly check in with the student to ensure the lessons are effective and enjoyable.
Be ready to tweak the teaching strategy if their needs or goals evolve.
7. Building Confidence
Celebrate milestones, like mastering tones or writing a paragraph, to keep motivation high.
Use error correction techniques suited to their preference—some prefer immediate feedback, while others benefit from reflective corrections after the session.

Risa
Learn Japanese culture and language ! (Beginners/intermediate/Advanced)Hello there! はじめまして!
I am Risa from Tokyo, Japan.
I have various experiences in teaching Japanese culture and language from children to adults in English and Spanish.
I'm learning various languages as a non-native speaker, so I know how learning foreign languages can be challenging, but at the same time, so fun! :) The key to fluency is repetitive practices, from my experience.
What is your purpose to learn Japanese culture and language? In the first session, let me know your specific needs and objectives so as we can take the best way to achieve these goals.
Together we will practice the diverse proficiency skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking).
The class will be semi-structured and flexible according to your needs and goals.
Feel free to contact me!

Intensive private latin dance courses (Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Chacha, Zouk antillais, Kuduru-african dance, Brazilian zouk)Private lessons / intensive Latin dance training (Cuban salsa, porto / LA salsa, bachata, merengue, chacha, zouk antillais, African kuduru-dance, Brazilian zouk *)
(* = it's THE dance of the moment that paradoxically has nothing zouk or anything Brazilian - today it's pop music for two, mixing creativity, sensuality, air fluidity that plays a lot with the movements of bust, head and body undulations.)
METHODOLOGY
Learn dance and let talk about your body / emotions, make the difference in the evening ("social dancing") or prepare an event (wedding for example): Focused on pedagogy, technique and pleasure, the dance space offers personalized and individualized courses of Salsa (porto on 1, Cuban), Bachata, Merengue, Kuduru-African dance, Zouk Antillais, Zouk Brazilian (pop music) (...) according to your desires.
Objective: to adapt to your request and your desire. In the eyes of many neophytes, a couple who dance well performs spectacular figures. To dance is to tell / live together a story, to produce beauty in movement and to make the steps, the attitudes and the connections between the various actions aesthetic / harmonious. This fluidity is born of emotion, felt and transmitted.
Simplicity, communication, listening, sharing, emotion, valorization of the other: it is, in addition to technical knowledge (body expression, rhythmic, visual), what you will improve during this training at evolutive levels. In a friendly atmosphere, you will be taken in hand whatever your initial level. Objective: a combination between on the one hand, intuition / feeling / improvisation and on the other hand, technique. It is possible to take the course in couple or solo.
According to your desire, it is possible to propose 70% of a 1st dance, 30% of another complementary dance, the bases of the one influencing the other.
Whether you are preparing a "choreography" for a special event (wedding, birthday, work, etc.), a show or simply looking to improve your skills to impress on the dance floor, the final learning of these courses consists in :
* perform a beautiful interpretation of the music with appropriate movements, in addition to performing a dynamic work that involves a footwork and body movements adapted
* execute an appropriate technique that will allow you to shine quickly on the dance floor, relying on the strong point of private lessons
* Set up style, movement, footwork, and adjusted body coordination, allowing for rapid dance progression, while taking advanced base steps and a variety of movements, allowing you to not only acquire a sensual style but also to improve his own improvisational abilities, focusing on the characteristics of modern dance.
* work on your balance, your musicality, your body strength (...), while having fun, while you train and radically improve the coordination of your body.
In summary, these courses are at the beginner level (basic steps with some general variations), intermediate (faster speed and more concentration on technique, body mechanics, control, footwork, posture, balance and more complex movements) or advanced (for slightly more experienced dancers).
Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 or 3 sessions *. (* study 2020)
To respond to requests received, it is indeed possible to offer this course (birthday, party, christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.
