That is (not) Chinese for me! Chinese / Mandarin course

From 43.31 C$ /h

I am a sinologist and completed the specific teacher training course for Chinese last year. Because Chinese is not my native language, I know the challenges and pitfalls of this language too well. My goal is to make the student enthusiastic about Chinese and Chinese culture. I try to respond as much as possible to the wishes and level of the student. Learning Chinese really meant an enrichment for me, hopefully for you soon too!

I come from Taiwan, which is a lovely country with full of diverse culture and freedom in life experiences. Chinese(Mandarin) is my mother language and I also speak English and German. Languages are tools. I don't teach them for tests and exams but for life. How to use it in daily life or with your friends from the Chinese speaking countries. Mandarin speaking is not difficult to learn and even the words look really beautiful. We could discuss and decide what you want to learn and also match your requirements.

Nowadays, Chinese is getting more important. For a lot of people, they think Chinese is a difficult language BUT NO! The grammar is very easy, for me, the most difficult thing when learning Chinese is the pronounce and the words. BUT practice make perfect! :)

My father teaches Chinese calligraphy (书法) as it is his passion. If you are interested in the art of calligraphy, the technicalities behind Chinese calligraphy (stroke order, harmony, correct strokes, etc.) and would love to hear more about the history behind calligraphy and the characters, this class might be something for you.

Previous knowledge is not required but a basic understanding of Chinese characters (traditional or simplified) and a basis in writing would be helpful. However, we could build it up from scratch as well.

Equipment can be provided during the classes (brush, ink and paper).

We have to admit that with the progress of globalization, Chinese is becoming more and more important. Martial arts, food, or unique culture are attracting more and more people to learn this unique language. I will customize the curriculum for students according to the different needs of each person. At the same time, my classroom will be full of cultural knowledge, some skills for learning Chinese, and Chinese learning games suitable for different age groups.

My name is Dinara, and I have been teaching Chinese for over 15 years. I hold a degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language. Languages are my true passion — I speak several of them, and this experience helps me better understand the challenges my students face when learning Chinese.

When teaching, I focus on what matters most: communication. My students don’t just memorize characters and grammar rules — they learn how to speak Chinese confidently. Many beginners are intimidated by Chinese writing, but I make it simple and engaging by introducing characters through associations and stories. After all, Chinese characters are pictures:
• 人 means “person” (a figure walking, seen from the side)
• 从 means “to follow” (two people walking together)
• 众 means “crowd” (three people together)

The Chinese language is in many ways easier than English. Its grammar is straightforward, without endings, prefixes, or suffixes. In Chinese, many words are very visual and logical — they are compound words, similar to English examples like blackboard, toothbrush, or snowman.
For instance:
• “to fly + machine” = airplane
• “ice + box” = refrigerator
• “fire + mountain” = volcano
This way of building words makes Chinese vocabulary easier to understand and remember.

Due to a busy teaching schedule, I currently teach exclusively online. I also lead a team of native Chinese teachers who are fluent in English, Spanish, German, French, Dutch, and Italian. I personally trained each of them in my teaching method. With this system, students can progress from beginner to HSK 5 in just two years, enabling them to use Chinese for work purposes and to study at universities in China. My students have successfully gone on to work at the European Parliament, large corporations, Chinese companies, and pursue studies in China.

Beyond lessons, I create opportunities for students to immerse themselves in the language. Every summer, I organize a four-week study program at a Chinese university. We also hold regular visits to Chinese restaurants, where students practice their speaking skills in a real cultural environment.

Learning Chinese doesn’t have to feel intimidating or dry—especially when you learn it with someone who lives the language every day. I’m a Chinese student currently studying in Belgium, and over the past few years, I’ve met people from all over the world who were curious about Chinese language and culture. Those experiences helped me create a teaching style that is warm, open-minded, and full of real-life examples.

In this class, we’ll go beyond textbooks. You’ll learn the phrases you actually need, understand cultural nuances, and practice speaking in a relaxed, supportive environment. Each session is interactive and conversational—I love bringing in stories, cultural insights, and fun activities so that you not only learn the language but also enjoy the process. Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone who wants to feel more confident speaking, I’ll guide you step by step
