Online Mandarin Chinese: learn pronunciation from the start (Zhuyin Alphabet)
Bopomofo or Mandarin Phonetic Symbols, also named Zhuyin, is a major Chinese transliteration system for Mandarin Chinese, which is nowadays most commonly used in Taiwanese Mandarin. Although Pinyin system is used worldwild, BUT, it is also confused by Latin alphabet, or even it easily affect the way when we pronounce.
Bopomofo is not only the phonetic system you should learn, it is also a basic coaching skill to help you to understand how to write Chinese characters.
SO, don't be hesitated, and book my class!

Achieve Real Vietnamese Fluency in Just 2 Months – with a Native Speaker (5+ Years Experience, Proven Results, Tailored for You)Speak Vietnamese Fluently in Just 2 Months!
Hi! I'm Thương, a Vietnamese teacher from Hanoi – the heart of Vietnam's culture.
I'm a patient, cheerful, friendly tutor who is passionate about helping international learners speak Vietnamese naturally and confidently.
In my lessons, I use real-life stories and everyday conversations to help you not only improve your Vietnamese, but also understand the culture behind the language. Whether you're focusing on grammar or communication, I will always tailor the lessons to what you need most — so that you can see fast and meaningful progress.
Whether you are:
✅ A complete beginner starting your Vietnamese journey
✅ Planning a trip to Vietnam and want to speak like a local
✅ Working or doing business in Vietnam and seeking deeper connections
✅ Moving to Vietnam to live with your loved ones
✅ Or simply fascinated by the Vietnamese language and culture
— I have a personalized roadmap just for you.
I’ve worked with students from Japan, South Korea, the U.S., Germany, China, and more – helping them not only master the Vietnamese language but also deeply understand the culture and people of Vietnam.
I teach in the Northern Vietnamese accent (Hanoi dialect). I also speak English (TOEIC 800+) and Japanese (JLPT N2), which allows me to explain difficult concepts in an easy and understandable way.
Outside of teaching, I love traveling, exploring, and taking international friends to discover local food, cultural sites, and hidden gems around Hanoi.
I hold a professional certificate in Teaching Vietnamese as a Foreign Language. With over 5 years of experience, I have taught students of all levels – from absolute beginners to advanced learners aiming to use Vietnamese for work and daily life.
What I offer:
Vietnamese for everyday communication
Vietnamese for travelers
Vietnamese for work and business
Correct pronunciation with the Northern accent
Vietnamese culture, customs, and norms
Focused skills practice: speaking, listening, reading, writing
I also hold an International Tour Guide License, so if you're planning to visit Vietnam, I can guide you on amazing journeys across the country – from North to South.
And when you’re in Hanoi, we can even study together offline at some chill cafés or beautiful cultural spots in the city – learning in the most fun and authentic way possible!
Do you find Vietnamese tones hard to remember?
Is the grammar too flexible and confusing?
Maybe you’ve studied for a while, but still can’t speak naturally?
Or you feel like Vietnamese is dry and difficult to enjoy?
You might have thought: “Why is Vietnamese so hard...?”
You’ve been there, right?
👉 I totally understand – many of my students have felt the same way at first.
But don’t worry! With the right approach, Vietnamese can actually be fun, clear, and full of life. 🌱I’ll help you learn with simple, practical, and interactive lessons that match your pace and interests.
Whether you want to speak confidently while traveling, understand your Vietnamese partner better, or simply explore this beautiful language and culture — I’m here to guide you.
Together, we’ll turn confusion into clarity, and fear into confidence. 💪
Let’s make Vietnamese learning an enjoyable journey you’ll love!
👉 Don’t wait any longer – apply now and let’s start your Vietnamese journey together!

Chinese (mandarin) lessons for adults and kids of all levelsI have been giving chinese lessons for more than 10 years. Before that, I was a radio broadcaster and a journalist in China, hence I have a perfect pronunciation of the official mandarin, without any accent. It provides my students the best conditions to learn chinese, as the tone you give to words when you speak chinese as a foreigner is of great importance if you want to be understood by natives.
I have a strong working experience helping students preparing their HSK exam, I also often teach diplomats, to help them acquire the necessary skills and understand properly the vocabulary specific to their job.
I also love to work with kids, as I was a mandarin teacher for 2 years in an international school in Singapore. I give them a playful learning environment and use fun learning methods, so even the youngest can stay focused!

The most Useful Chinese lessons that you can't miss!!!Hello,welcome to the class.

This class will be divided into two parts.
In the first part, we will do a brief introduction to know each other better.

And then feel free to ask me some questions.
Let me give you some information about myself. My Chinese name is 戴梦丽. You can call me Spencer. I am based in Hangzhou, China.
Currently, I have been working as a Chinese teacher as well as an English teacher. I teach Chinese adults English also online. Regrading Chinese teaching, I have been teaching Mandarin as a foreign language for almost two years now. And I focus on the lessons with adults.

So yeah. that’s me.

Learn Chinese from A1 to C2, from having fun to prepare testI run private lessons, where all levels are welcome. But if you’re a total beginner then I offer basic classes to help you find the way to get into it.
I develop diverse methods of teaching for the students. For the around 5-8 years old kids, I would like to set certain games to play with them, thereby the kids can learn the new language during the interaction and communication. In this way, different media, like color pictures, puppets, or storybooks are essential to make the course very attractive. For the teenager or advanced students, a structuralized teaching content based on scenarios or textbook could help the students to develop their language capacity efficiently in different aspects – listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Besides, I would like to give a deeper perspective for the Chinese- not only learning the language from the textbooks, but also the knowledge of the language, the culture, and the literature.
Also, based on your need and situation, we choose different textbooks and make a personal teaching plan for you.
