The Gateway to Chinese Characters/The Melody of the EastChinese, this ancient and exquisite language, carries the wisdom and heritage of five thousand years of Chinese civilization. It is not only the most widely spoken language in the world but also a bond that connects the emotions and culture of billions of Chinese people. The beauty of Chinese lies in its unique characters—each one is like a painting, rich with imagery and philosophy. From the majesty of the character "山" (mountain) to the fluidity of "水" (water), from the warmth of "爱" (love) to the ethereality of "梦" (dream), Chinese uses the simplest strokes to depict the most profound world.
The phonetics of Chinese are equally enchanting, with its four tones creating a musical rhythm that is both melodious and captivating. Whether it is the tonal patterns of classical poetry or the smooth flow of modern prose, Chinese touches the heart with its unique sense of rhythm and cadence. Ancient verses like "床前明月光,疑是地上霜" (Moonlight before my bed, like frost on the ground) and modern expressions like "岁月静好,现世安稳" (Time is quiet, life is stable) showcase how Chinese conveys deep emotions with the most concise language.
The inclusiveness and vitality of Chinese are also truly remarkable. It not only preserves ancient classics but also absorbs modern vocabulary, evolving with the times. Whether it is technological terms like "互联网" (internet) and "人工智能" (artificial intelligence) or internet slang like "躺平" (lie flat) and "内卷" (involution), Chinese demonstrates its powerful adaptability by integrating into the pulse of the era.
Learning Chinese is not just about mastering a language; it is about opening a door to the treasure trove of Chinese culture. It allows us to understand the wisdom of ancient sages, feel the weight of history, and comprehend Eastern philosophy. Chinese is a gem of the world, a bridge of culture, and a resonance of the soul.

Bruno
Mandarin Chinese introductory course by a former expat in TaiwanI offer Mandarin lessons for people who want to learn the language and be able to communicate in everyday life. Beyond learning to write, I offer to work on pronunciation and listening, essential prerequisites for oral expression and comprehension.
I adapt my lessons to the needs of the student, whether they are new learners, false beginners or already have a solid foundation but wish to strengthen their communication skills. Having learned traditional Chinese (used in Taiwan), it is this form of writing that I teach in writing, oral communication being undifferentiated between mainland China and other Chinese-speaking countries. However, I use the phonetic system of pinyin to simplify teaching.
My mastery of Chinese being above all oral, I propose to work on all aspects relating to pronunciation (Chinese initials and finals, isolated tones and in context) for beginners, and the fluidity of oral expression for more advanced levels.
Through my experience as an expatriate in a Chinese-speaking country, I am also keen to pass on keys to understanding Chinese culture to enable people who are considering a stay or a trip to a Chinese-speaking country to better understand the interpersonal relationships, habits, festivals and customs, beliefs, etc. which strongly influence life there.

Xingying
Learn Chinese from A1 to C2, from having fun to prepare testI 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.
