Many people feel that Chinese is difficult to learn. Actually, it is only a little different.
I’m a good teacher for both beginners and advanced students. Based on students' individual learning goals, I make plans for them differently. My lessons can be tailor-made for each student. I can design individualized curriculum catering to each student's specific needs and learning styles. Whether you want to do business with China, travel to China, prepare for an exam, or have a special need, my customized lessons can help you!
I use Chinese songs, movies, cartoons, tongue twisters, word cards and pictures in my lessons. Also, we will act roles in different situations to practice Chinese. I will try my best to make the lessons interesting so that you can enjoy learning the language. You will find learning Chinese is a lot of fun.
Besides language, I will also introduce you to Chinese culture. I believe that knowing the culture will help you understand language and communicate with Chinese people better.
As for the class time, your time is important. You decide the class time when is most convenient for you.

"It took Live Lingua to make one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn easy and fun. Thank you very much."
Eric W. - Pharmacist
"The key to learning Chinese is to not only understand the pronunciation with all the tones but also understand the culture. That is really the key to being able to communicate since China is such a large country with different norms. Thankfully Live Lingua gave me a teacher that was from the region I visited regularly for work, so she was able to really help me out with everything I needed. I am very grateful for your assistantce and look forward to working with Live Lingua for a long time to come."
