Learning Chinese - NOT JUST a language

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.
* Group Course 1: “NOT JUST a Chinese Reading Course.” An ongoing online course with separate groups for upper beginners and intermediate learners.
* Group Course 2: “Travel China — Language & Cultural Preparation.” Available upon request.
* Other group lessons available upon request.
* Free monthly online introductory Chinese class (date announced each month).
* Free 45-minute trial lesson available upon request.
* Free learning materials, including:
1. Weekly blogs on Chinese language and culture with English translation, slow-speed audio, and a bite-size exercise.
2. A podcast in Chinese with transcript and English translation.

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.
