🟣 Chinese lessons: Language, Literature, Civilization, Art, Thought 🟣

🟡 My classes cover language, oral communication and writing, but also daily life, culture, customs, Chinese thought, etc.

So you can prepare to travel, study, work, live in China, or collaborate with Chinese people.

🟡 I also interest my students in
the evolution of writing, vocabulary building, Chinese art (painting and calligraphy), literature, Feng Shui, traditional medicine, etc.

🟡 I offer playful, gestural or illustrated learning, promoting exchanges in Chinese as much as possible, so as to provoke the linguistic immersion of my students.

🟡 I teach simplified Chinese (simplified characters and Pīnyīn) and traditional Chinese (traditional characters and Zhùyīnfúhào).

🟢 Classes for all levels and all ages (I have already had students from 2 to 80 years old).

🟠 GOOD ADVICE...️
Speaking a language and teaching it are two very different things, and this applies to both Chinese and French! It is not enough for your teacher to be a native Chinese speaker! Trust teachers with professional experience, especially for your first steps in learning or to correct your bad habits!
