From 26.62 £ /h

Chinese is one of the Asian languages. Most people find it very difficult. I know why and want to help solve this puzzle through my lessons. Before we really get started, I have some questions for you. 1) Why do you want to learn Chinese? 2) How long do you plan to learn Chinese? Have you learned Chinese before? If yes, how far along are you? It is important to make an appropriate plan together. Make sure to use a good leather material.
My lessons consist of pinyin, Character, words and sentences. For a beginner I will use English or Dutch to help. Don't worry, let's take the first step. I wait or you.

*Goal: To understand artificial intelligence without fear, use it to simplify life, and uncover digital traps.*

### **1: Demystifying Artificial Intelligence (What Exactly Is It?)**

* **Artificial intelligence is not a "movie robot":** The fundamental difference between science fiction and practical reality.
* **How it works (simply):** Imagine a "giant library"; AI has read billions of books and uses them to predict the completion of a sentence or create a new image.
* **Where do we use it now?** The spell checker, Netflix and YouTube suggestions, GPS navigation, and voice assistants such as Siri and Alexa.

---

### **2: Using artificial intelligence to make your life easier**

* **Interacting with artificial intelligence (ChatGPT, Cloud, Gemini):**
* Writing formal emails or complex letters.
* Summarizing long articles or huge documents.
* Plan travel itineraries or create food recipes from ingredients available in the refrigerator.

* **Creativity and Memory:**
* Create creative images for greeting cards (via Midjourney or DALL-E).
Restoring and coloring old family photos.

3: The art of speaking to the machine (the Prompt skill)**

* **Context Style:** Why is the phrase "Give me a cake recipe" less effective than "I have a gluten allergy and I'm having 4 people, give me a simple chocolate cake recipe".
* **Role-taking:** Learn to ask the artificial intelligence to "speak like a tourism expert" or "answer me like a specialized agricultural engineer."

4: Precautions and Critical Thinking (A Survival Guide)**

Digital hallucinations:** Understand that artificial intelligence may confidently present false information (never rely on it for medical or legal advice without verification).
Privacy protection
Do not share sensitive data (ID numbers, passwords, bank details).
Be aware that everything you write may be used to train systems in the future.

Detecting deepfakes:**
How to identify fake photos or videos (examine hand details, strange reflections, or metallic sound).
* The golden rule: Verify by cross-referencing different sources.

5: Ethics and Impact (A Future Perspective)**

Copyright: Who owns the image created by artificial intelligence?
Environmental impact: Water and energy consumption in large data centers.
The future: Will artificial intelligence replace us or will it be an assistant to us?

Additional tip:** Since you are targeting the Gulf region, it is preferable to use terms such as "Digital Transformation" and "Innovation" at the beginning of your presentation, as they are very catchy words for decision-makers there.

In this lesson,I will show you the real China, the one I've explored through my camera lens and my own travels. From reading airport signs to ordering food like a local, I'll make sure you're ready for every step of your journey.

▸Who I Work With?
- First-time visitors to China: Feeling excited but a little anxious about the language barrier? This course is built for you. I'll walk you through everything you need before you even pack your bags.

- Independent travelers: You don't want a tour guide. You want to explore on your own. I'll teach you how to navigate cities, use local apps, and handle real-life situations with confidence.

- Culture lovers: You've seen the videos. You've heard the stories. Now you want to experience the real China for yourself. I'll help you go beyond the tourist trail.

- Short-term visitors and exchange students: Landing in China soon and need to hit the ground running? We'll cover everything from setting up payment apps to ordering your first meal.

- Anyone who's ever thought "I wish I could speak a little Chinese": It's never too late to start. I'll make it practical, fun, and immediately useful.

If you're looking for a traditional, grammar-heavy Chinese course, this isn't it. But if you want to arrive in China feeling prepared, confident, and ready to explore, let's get started.

──────────────────

▸What You Can Expect?

Every lesson is built around real travel scenarios. No boring drills, no abstract grammar. Just the Chinese you'll actually use. The course is divided into three practical phases:

Phase 1: Before You Go (Pre-Trip Essentials)

- Understanding visa requirements and the latest entry procedures
- Setting up essential apps: WeChat, Alipay, ride-hailing, and navigation tools
- Learning the basics of mobile payment and getting connected (eSIM, local SIM)
- Cultural do's and don'ts to avoid common mistakes

Phase 2: Hit the Ground (Survival Skills)

- Airport navigation: reading arrival signs, customs, baggage claim
- Getting to your hotel: taking a taxi, using ride-hailing apps, giving directions
- Hotel check-in: asking about Wi-Fi, breakfast times, luggage storage
- Eating out: reading menus, ordering food, understanding prices, paying the bill
- City transport: buying subway tickets, reading metro maps, taking high-speed trains

Phase 3: Go Deeper (Beyond Survival)

- Visiting tourist sites: booking tickets online, reading attraction guides
- Shopping and bargaining: asking prices, negotiating at markets
- Local experiences: understanding tea house menus, theater schedules, local customs
- Making connections: simple conversations to connect with locals
- Each lesson is a complete "mission." By the end, you'll have a personalized travel toolkit ready for your trip.

──────────────────

▸Teaching Style

I believe learning should feel like an adventure, not a chore. My teaching style is practical, patient, and highly interactive.

As a documentary filmmaker and designer, I use real photos, videos, and maps from my own travels across China. You'll see the actual signs you'll encounter, the real menus you'll read, and the streets you might walk down. No fake textbook scenarios.

I won't overwhelm you with grammar rules. Instead, I'll give you the exact phrases and cultural insights you need, and help you practice them in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. Mistakes are welcome. That's how you learn.

──────────────────

▸Teaching Materials & Resources

I don't rely on a single textbook. Instead, I create custom learning materials based on your specific itinerary and interests:

- Real-world visuals: Travel photos, and authentic images of Chinese signs, menus, and tickets
- Interactive simulations: We'll use live apps like maps, ride-hailing, and ordering platforms together during class
- Personalized survival kit: I'll build a custom phrasebook and vocabulary list for your trip, tailored to your destinations
- Practical worksheets: Airport flowcharts, hotel check-in scripts, restaurant ordering templates, and more

──────────────────

▸A Note on Textbooks
A good textbook gives us structure, so I may use materials from Discover China, Short-term Spoken Chinese, or Road to Success as a foundation. But I always go beyond the textbook, bringing in real-world examples from my own experience. You'll learn the language that actually gets used, not the stuff that only exists in a classroom.

Have a conversation like friends. Ask any question that interests you. Language learn is about constant exposure and comprehensible input. If you need help with exam preparation, that's perfectly fine. But I would suggest talking to a native speaker about topics that truly interest you. In that process, you pick up subtle cultural cues, and learns authentic expressions which are rare to find in textbooks.
