Beginner Chinese Speaking Lessons -- 2

@xiaotiandai90

Hello, I am a native Mandarin speaker with full proficiency in English, and I have lived and worked in both China and Canada. This allows me to explain pronunciation, tones, and cultural context in a clear and approachable way for beginners. My approach is communication-first. I will first understand your current level, then design lessons around real-life situations so you can start speaking right away. You’ll practice everyday interactions (ordering food, asking for directions, casual conversations), with real-time tone correction and clear guidance. The focus is steady progress and confidence, without overwhelming grammar. I typically structure lessons in stages: starting with pronunciation and tones, then building core sentence patterns, followed by situational dialogues, and gradually moving toward more natural conversations. Here is how the first sessions could look: • Session 1: Pinyin and tones with guided speaking practice • Session 2: Core phrases and simple Q&A • Session 3: Real-life dialogues (e.g., ordering food) I teach via Zoom (screen sharing + whiteboard) and use WeChat for follow-up. After each session, I provide short practice and key phrases to reinforce learning. I’m patient, reliable, and can support regular 1.5-hour sessions. I’d love to help you make steady, practical progress in Mandarin.
