ChinaTravel Ready: 15 Chinese Lessons to Survive & ExploreTranslate this text using Google Translate.

In this lesson,I will show you the real China, the one I've explored through my camera lens and my own travels. From reading airport signs to ordering food like a local, I'll make sure you're ready for every step of your journey. ▸Who I Work With? - First-time visitors to China: Feeling excited but a little anxious about the language barrier? This course is built for you. I'll walk you through everything you need before you even pack your bags. - Independent travelers: You don't want a tour guide. You want to explore on your own. I'll teach you how to navigate cities, use local apps, and handle real-life situations with confidence. - Culture lovers: You've seen the videos. You've heard the stories. Now you want to experience the real China for yourself. I'll help you go beyond the tourist trail. - Short-term visitors and exchange students: Landing in China soon and need to hit the ground running? We'll cover everything from setting up payment apps to ordering your first meal. - Anyone who's ever thought "I wish I could speak a little Chinese": It's never too late to start. I'll make it practical, fun, and immediately useful. If you're looking for a traditional, grammar-heavy Chinese course, this isn't it. But if you want to arrive in China feeling prepared, confident, and ready to explore, let's get started. ────────────────── ▸What You Can Expect? Every lesson is built around real travel scenarios. No boring drills, no abstract grammar. Just the Chinese you'll actually use. The course is divided into three practical phases: Phase 1: Before You Go (Pre-Trip Essentials) - Understanding visa requirements and the latest entry procedures - Setting up essential apps: WeChat, Alipay, ride-hailing, and navigation tools - Learning the basics of mobile payment and getting connected (eSIM, local SIM) - Cultural do's and don'ts to avoid common mistakes Phase 2: Hit the Ground (Survival Skills) - Airport navigation: reading arrival signs, customs, baggage claim - Getting to your hotel: taking a taxi, using ride-hailing apps, giving directions - Hotel check-in: asking about Wi-Fi, breakfast times, luggage storage - Eating out: reading menus, ordering food, understanding prices, paying the bill - City transport: buying subway tickets, reading metro maps, taking high-speed trains Phase 3: Go Deeper (Beyond Survival) - Visiting tourist sites: booking tickets online, reading attraction guides - Shopping and bargaining: asking prices, negotiating at markets - Local experiences: understanding tea house menus, theater schedules, local customs - Making connections: simple conversations to connect with locals - Each lesson is a complete "mission." By the end, you'll have a personalized travel toolkit ready for your trip. ────────────────── ▸Teaching Style I believe learning should feel like an adventure, not a chore. My teaching style is practical, patient, and highly interactive. As a documentary filmmaker and designer, I use real photos, videos, and maps from my own travels across China. You'll see the actual signs you'll encounter, the real menus you'll read, and the streets you might walk down. No fake textbook scenarios. I won't overwhelm you with grammar rules. Instead, I'll give you the exact phrases and cultural insights you need, and help you practice them in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. Mistakes are welcome. That's how you learn. ────────────────── ▸Teaching Materials & Resources I don't rely on a single textbook. Instead, I create custom learning materials based on your specific itinerary and interests: - Real-world visuals: Travel photos, and authentic images of Chinese signs, menus, and tickets - Interactive simulations: We'll use live apps like maps, ride-hailing, and ordering platforms together during class - Personalized survival kit: I'll build a custom phrasebook and vocabulary list for your trip, tailored to your destinations - Practical worksheets: Airport flowcharts, hotel check-in scripts, restaurant ordering templates, and more ────────────────── ▸A Note on Textbooks A good textbook gives us structure, so I may use materials from Discover China, Short-term Spoken Chinese, or Road to Success as a foundation. But I always go beyond the textbook, bringing in real-world examples from my own experience. You'll learn the language that actually gets used, not the stuff that only exists in a classroom.

Professional Mandarin Chinese Lessons with an Experienced TeacherTranslate this text using Google Translate.

### Learn Chinese with a Qualified Professional Teacher — From Zero to Advanced Learning Chinese is often considered a great challenge — but that doesn’t mean it has to be painful or frustrating. I am a **professional Chinese language teacher with a Master’s degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language, a qualification in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language, and more than 10 years of teaching experience**. Unlike a teacher who simply speaks Chinese as a native language, I have professional training and formal qualifications in Chinese language education, as well as extensive experience teaching learners from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. I know not only Chinese itself, but also **how to teach it effectively**. I offer Chinese lessons for **all levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners**, including: * Beginner and intermediate Chinese * Advanced Chinese * Conversational Chinese * Business Chinese * Chinese literature and culture * Customized lessons based on your goals and interests My teaching philosophy is simple: **knowing a lot of Chinese does not necessarily mean being able to use it.** I don’t want my students to leave a lesson with a long list of vocabulary and grammar rules but still struggle to say what they actually want to say. Instead, I focus on helping you **use Chinese actively** — speaking, expressing your ideas, asking questions, responding naturally, and gradually turning what you learn into real communication skills. At the same time, I believe that difficult things can be made simple. Chinese grammar can seem complicated at first, but with the right explanation and meaningful practice, it becomes much more manageable. I enjoy breaking down difficult grammar and language points into **clear, simple, and easy-to-understand explanations**. My classes are relaxed, interactive, and adapted to each student's needs. Whether you are starting Chinese from scratch, preparing for work in a Chinese-speaking environment, studying for a specific goal, or simply want to become more confident speaking Chinese, I will help you build practical skills step by step. **Let’s make Chinese a language you can actually use — not just a language you study.**

Our students from Basel evaluate their Chinese teacher.

To ensure the quality of our Chinese teachers, we ask our students from Basel to review them.

Only reviews of students are published and they are guaranteed by Apprentus. Rated 4.9 out of 5 based on 80 reviews.

The current ratings and reviews speak for themselves. Most are 5-star reviews, with a few 4-star reviews and none at a lower rating. She is an amazing teacher with more than a decade of experience. Who truly knows how to tailor a programme to each individual student. In 3 weeks, I've grown from knowing close to no grammar to being able to form proper sentences for everyday use. One aspect I value a lot about her way of teaching is that we apply the grammar not only to every-day situations but also to topics that tailor to my personal life circumstances. I have been convinced that, with the help of Marina, I will be able to grow my Mandarin skills exponentially over the next few months.

It's great to have lessons with Gwendolyn. She is a very energetic teacher, and it's really good to be able to have fun at the same time as learning a lot.

Enjoyable and helpful meetings at a convenient location
