Learning Chinese can be fun!

Speaking can feel a bit like singing.
Writing characters is like drawing.
Words follow patterns — once you learn one, you can often guess another.
Sometimes a simple word carries layers of emotion, while a long sentence may be nothing more than polite courtesy.

In many ways, learning Chinese is like practicing an art form — and solving little mysteries along the way. 😊

But I also understand your pain.

You may feel unsure about tones no matter how many times you repeat them.
You may decide that writing characters is too overwhelming.
You might forget new words quickly, or find that you can read but still struggle to speak.
You might even hit a psychological plateau where progress feels invisible.

Don’t worry — you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to accompany you through the journey.

Here’s how I can support you:

* Tailor-made private lessons based on your goals — chatting with Chinese-speaking friends, travelling, business, exam preparation, or anything else you need.
* Free 45-minute trial private lesson available upon request.

* Group Course 1:"How to kickstart your Chinese learning".
* Group Course 2: “Travel China — A Language & Cultural Preparation.”
* Other group lessons available upon request.

* Free "Online Community Hour"
Once a month. Here you can talk about your Chinese learning, or asking specific language/culture questions. You can talk to me directly, and/or chat with other Chinese learners.
* Free learning materials, including:
A podcast in both Chinese (with transcript) and English.

ps. you don't have to have lessons with me to get access to the free resources. Just drop me a message and I will put you on the email list to receive information.

And the best part? The deeper you go, the more Chinese starts to make sense — why a character looks the way it does, why an idiom carries its meaning, how words connect like building blocks. Those little “aha!” moments will come more and more often.
And one day, you’ll realize: Chinese is becoming your language.
