How to speak and write Mandrin in the interesting way and easy wayI am a native Chinese speaker. Mandarin is becoming more and more popular and important language in the world. Most of foreigners think Chinese is very difficult to speak and write. I can teach you in the interesting and easy way to master the basic things.
Shan
Chinese language and culture speaking writing readingLearn Chinese language and culture with a lot of fun. The approach helps you remember easily and apply in the daily life or work environments. The Chinese culture such as Chinese calligraphy, festivals, life and work culture will open your view towards China and help you understand and branding in Chinese context.
By combining Phonetic Training, Repetition and Drills, Interactive Activities, Visual and Audio Aids, Feedback and Correctionteachers, Culturally Relevant Materials, Use of Technology, Structured Language Lessons, I create a diverse and engaging learning environment that assists students in mastering the Chinese language and improving their pronunciation effectively.
Tailoring Chinese lessons to a student’s learning style and preferences involves a combination of assessing their individual needs, adapting teaching methods, and creating a personalized learning plan. Here’s how I approach it:
1. Understanding Learning Styles
Initial Assessment: I start with a questionnaire or discussion to understand how the student learns best—visually, auditorily, kinesthetically, or through reading and writing.
Trial Activities: Observing their engagement during different activities (e.g., flashcards, conversations, or listening exercises) helps confirm their preferences.
2. Personalized Content
Relevant Topics: Incorporate the student’s interests (e.g., travel, business, pop culture) to make lessons engaging.
Cultural Integration: If they’re interested in Chinese culture, history, or traditions, I integrate cultural anecdotes, idioms, or holiday practices into the curriculum.
Professional Needs: For those learning Chinese for work, I focus on industry-specific vocabulary and scenarios.
3. Methodology Adjustments
Visual Learners: Use diagrams, flashcards, and videos to teach characters, grammar structures, and tones.
Auditory Learners: Focus on listening and speaking activities, such as audio recordings, songs, and conversational practice.
Kinesthetic Learners: Incorporate hands-on activities like stroke order practice, role-playing scenarios, or physical games to reinforce learning.
Reading/Writing Learners: Provide text-heavy materials, exercises, and encourage journaling or essay writing in Chinese.
4. Adapting the Pacing
Some students prefer a structured approach with grammar rules and systematic progress, while others thrive in a more immersive and conversational environment. I adjust the lesson flow accordingly.
5. Technology and Resources
Recommend apps, online tools, or games tailored to their style (e.g., Skritter for visual learners, podcasts for auditory learners).
Share supplementary materials like interactive ebooks, videos, or worksheets that align with their pace and interests.
6. Feedback and Flexibility
Regularly check in with the student to ensure the lessons are effective and enjoyable.
Be ready to tweak the teaching strategy if their needs or goals evolve.
7. Building Confidence
Celebrate milestones, like mastering tones or writing a paragraph, to keep motivation high.
Use error correction techniques suited to their preference—some prefer immediate feedback, while others benefit from reflective corrections after the session.

Maarten
Mandarin Chinese courses: Beginner - Intermediate - AdvancedWith a master's degree in Sinology (KULeuven, 2015), years of professional experience in the field and 6 years of experience in the Chinese Minor bachelor programme and evening courses at VUB, I'm confident that my courses offer an efficient and comprehensive path to Chinese language proficiency.
This class provides tailor-made Chinese language courses for any age. By default, the course focusses on oral communication (listening and speaking skills) with a large amount of interaction. Reading and writing is available (and recommended), but optional. As a non-native speaker, I know what it is to learn Chinese at a later age.
Textbooks, workbook exercises and additional character writing exercises are included in the price.
