Chinese from Zero: Build Your Foundation, Explore the CultureTranslate this text using Google Translate.

▸Who I Work With? - Absolute beginners — you don't know a single word of Chinese, and that's perfectly fine. We'll start from the very beginning, with a clear focus on pronunciation and pinyin, so you can build a solid foundation from day one. - Self-learners who've tried and failed — maybe you've downloaded apps or watched videos, but you still can't pronounce words correctly or read a simple sentence. I'll help you fix the basics and rebuild your confidence. - Future travelers and culture lovers — you're planning to visit China someday, or you're simply fascinated by the culture. You want to learn the language properly, but you also want to know what makes Chinese culture tick. - Anyone who wants a structured start, without the boredom — I use textbooks to give us a clear learning path, but I bring the lessons to life with real stories, visuals, and cultural insights from my own experience. ────────────────── ▸What You Can Expect? - Pinyin first, and pinyin done right — the first part of this course focuses on pronunciation. We'll work through pinyin systematically: initials, finals, and tones. I'll use visual aids, tone drills, and plenty of speaking practice to make sure you can pronounce words accurately and read pinyin confidently. - A good textbook gives us structure — we'll use a proven textbook like HSK Standard Course 1 or Integrated Chinese as our foundation. This ensures you're learning in a logical order, with clear grammar explanations and vocabulary building. - Beyond the textbook — once we've got the basics down, I'll bring in materials from my own work: documentary clips, travel photos, real Chinese signs and menus. You'll see how the words and grammar you've learned show up in real life. This is where the culture comes in, not as a separate lesson, but woven into everything we do. - Speak and read from day one — every lesson includes speaking practice. You'll learn to introduce yourself, order food, ask for directions. Practical, useful Chinese that you can actually use. ────────────────── ▸Teaching Methods & Materials - Core textbook: HSK Standard Course 1 or a similar structured textbook for systematic progress - Pinyin tools: visual charts, tone pair drills, audio recordings for pronunciation practice - My own materials: documentary footage, authentic photos, and real-world examples to bridge the gap between the textbook and real life - Custom worksheets: designed specifically for your weak points and interests

Chinese, French & Italian Lessons with a PhD LinguistTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Chinese, French & Italian Lessons with a PhD LinguistTranslate this text using Google Translate.

I am a multilingual linguist specializing in comparative linguistics, second language acquisition, and language teaching. For more than 15 years, I have taught Chinese, French and Italian to students of different ages, proficiency levels, and linguistic/cultural backgrounds through both private lessons and university courses. I hold a binational PhD in Linguistics and Language Teaching from Sapienza University of Rome and INALCO (Paris). Throughout my career, I have taught and conducted research in Italy, France, and China. I have published extensively on linguistics and language acquisition, serve as Managing Editor of an international academic journal, and regularly collaborate with universities and research institutions in Europe and China. Whether your goal is to prepare for an exam, improve your speaking skills, learn a language for work, or simply discover a new culture, I will tailor each course to your needs and objectives. Lessons may include conversation, grammar, pronunciation, reading, writing, and listening comprehension, depending on your goals. I use a wide range of materials and place particular emphasis on developing practical communication skills while helping students understand the underlying structure of the language. My research focuses on how languages are learned and acquired. This enables me to identify the specific challenges faced by each learner and to adapt my teaching methods accordingly, making the learning process more effective and engaging. As language and culture are inseparable, learning a language means not only acquiring new linguistic skills, but also gaining insight into the cultural and social contexts in which it is spoken. I aim to help students build both linguistic confidence and a deeper understanding of the language they are learning.

Does Chinese scare you? The tones, the characters, such a different grammar... You don't know where to start. Good news: with the right method, it's much less intimidating than it seems. With a doctorate in Chinese linguistics, I have been teaching Mandarin for several years. My courses are not like vocabulary lists to be memorized — the idea is that you truly understand the language and can use it from the very first sessions. In the program 🔊 Tones and pronunciation — we lay the foundations from the start to avoid bad habits ✍️ Characters — using mnemonic techniques, not raw memorization 💬 Everyday expressions — what we really say, not textbook phrases 🎯 The logic of language — once you see it, everything becomes easier Is this right for you? Starting from scratch? We'll begin with pinyin, no stress. Already have some basics but feel stuck? We'll find out where you're going wrong together. Lessons are tailored to your pace and availability. Feel free to message me before booking — I'm happy to reply. 😊 Tones, characters, a grammar that works nothing like European languages... Chinese can feel overwhelming before you even start. The good news: with the right approach, it's much more approachable than it looks. I hold a PhD in Chinese linguistics and have been teaching Mandarin for several years. My lessons aren't about memorizing word lists — the goal is for you to actually understand the language and start using it from the very first sessions. What we'll cover 🔊 Tones and pronunciation — getting it right from the start so bad habits don't creep in ✍️ Chinese characters — with memory techniques, not brute-force repetition 💬 Everyday expressions — what people actually say, not textbook filler 🎯 How the language works — once you see the patterns, everything clicks Is this for you? Completely new to Chinese? We start with pinyin, no pressure. Already know a little but feel stuck? We'll figure out together where things went sideways. Lessons flex around your pace and schedule.

I was thinking, that learning Chinese is extremely difficult, however, thanks to Shan,  this language becomes more and more clear for me. Every lesson is very productive and I feel, that I progress fast! Today, there are numerous teachers, who can teach you Chinese. However, only a few of them can make the educational process so interesting and enjoyable. Luckily for me, Shan is one of them and I am very happy, that I found her. Shan is very precise and corrects every my mistake. She can easily explain how to properly pronounce words with different tones, how to write syllables, the grammar and many more. I like, that with her, I am not just memorising Chinese language, but I do really understand it. Overall, without a doubt, I can say, that Shan is a great teacher! 心💕

The current ratings and reviews speak for themselves. Most are 5-star reviews, with a few 4-star reviews and none at a lower rating. She is an amazing teacher with more than a decade of experience. Who truly knows how to tailor a programme to each individual student. In 3 weeks, I've grown from knowing close to no grammar to being able to form proper sentences for everyday use. One aspect I value a lot about her way of teaching is that we apply the grammar not only to every-day situations but also to topics that tailor to my personal life circumstances. I have been convinced that, with the help of Marina, I will be able to grow my Mandarin skills exponentially over the next few months.

Patient and skilled with efficient communication. Very professional and fun teacher. Highly recommended!
