• Among DIY activities, songs, cooking, drawing, painting.

Cécile

Hello, law student and philosophy (master), I offer private lessons Mandarin. Of Shanghainese origin, I offer my services to those who are interested in Chinese language and culture.

My goal is to advance the linguistic knowledge of the student without overloading him, and while remaining in a playful atmosphere. In order for the linguistic experience to be enriching and interesting, I integrate, in addition, cultural, literary and social elements in this course.

In general, classes consist of four parts: oral, written, audition and cultural understanding. For those who are starting learning, there is also a basic writing part (PIN YIN and basic ideograph study). But, I can also adapt the courses according to the particular requirements of the student (exam, quick knowledge for a business trip, etc.)

In general, I propose a weekly work (vocabulary review, reading an excerpt or watching a Chinese movie (for advanced students), etc.) and evaluate the progress of the course once a month so to quickly remedy certain shortcomings. Thank you for wanting to trust me and see you soon!
