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.

Whether online or in person, the training will begin with an overview of the history of photography, followed by theoretical lessons on composition. To understand how a camera works and the depth of an image, you must observe and practice again and again. As a photographer, your aesthetic sense will develop through both practical and theoretical exercises. I have all the necessary equipment, in case you don't have your own camera. As an artist promoted by institutions such as Paris Photo and Alfred la Tour, I will accompany you throughout your creative process to help you refine your aesthetic sensibility and best meet your expectations as well as those of your future clients. I also offer training on all of the following software: • Photoshop: image correction, retouching, editing and processing • Illustrator: proficiency in the software and typography • InDesign: layout design, microtypography, graphic coordination and integration between different software programs; history of the publishing and printing industry • Premiere Pro: video editing, tips and pitfalls to avoid, how to create a harmonious and effective edit, and mastering the software. I adapt easily to schedules and needs. Naturally organized and independent, I am proficient in the digital tools used in education and I create my own teaching materials while guaranteeing high-quality work. I advocate a creative and relaxed approach. No silly questions: mistakes are the foundation of your learning. Without them, you won't be able to progress.
