--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chinese learner often come to me with questions how to improve their spoken Chinese .There are many different ways of achieving this worthwhile aim.Our course provides a three-step method with students of any level can use.

First, we have provided a list of useful,commonly used vocabulary and phrases on a wide variety of topics.It is essential that students focus on learning useful vocabulary and phrases,rather than those that they will rarely,or even never ,need.Students need commonly used vocabulary and phrases for two reasons. One is that they should learn to speak as contemporary people speak not as people spoke prior to ancient Chinese or even earlier. The other reason is that , in conversations with other Chinese users, they will hear these words and phrases being used and will need to understand them. Students need vocabulary and phrases covering a range of topics because they can’t predict what topics they will meet and because a well rounded individual should be able to converse on a variety of subjects,not just the few that particularly interest them .

Second,we have supplied a selection of questions and sentences. These demonstrate how words and phrses can be built into structures,around which conversations can take place. The words and phrases provided at the beginning of each topics are used as the basis for these structures. The questions and sentences have been divided into three groups-for beginners, intermediat students,and advanced learners. I would strongly recommend that sutdents bear in mind two things when they are reading the questions and sentences.One is to pay careful attention to the stuctures used .The other thing students should remember is that the ability to read a sentence or a question in a book is quite different from being able to use it in conversation. Students should only progress to the questions and sentences in the ‘intermediate’and ‘advanced’sections if they can already use the ones in the ‘beginner’ section in real life conversation .

The third thing we have given students is a pair of dialogues for each topic.These demonstrate how different structures can be combined naturally in order to produce coherent conversations between individual people.


The best way to keep up to date with its progress is to keep up to date with the people who use it ——in other words, go out and make conversation!

I worked as a teacher for 7-year with teaching certificate and mandarin certificate. Previous and present students who are from Korea,Australia,Brazil,French,Italy ,Singapore ,India ,Spain,Canada,England and America,etc. Offered chinese class by one on one ,sometimes I also have group class or corporation training according to what the learners need . I arranged tailor-made chinese class for learners with different levels.Many clients have kept the chinese lesson with me for one year or more than one years . Lots of students still continue their chinese with me when they come back to China again .I should say I recognized what problems the chinese learners had . So I always talk about the familiar mistakes with the learners in order to aviod the ordinary error when they are speaking or writing . They have a obvious improvement after having the class with me. What's more, I prepared material according to what the learners do,for example, I gave her some professional words or sentences to a student who works at Perry Ellis International Company Shanghai Region.So I can prepare tailor-made chinese lesson for you . I need prepare some cards for my teaching to the learners , it's my responsibility ,it is also a good way to learn chinese , you can call my present student who is Markus ,he will tell you why is best to learn with the cards . It is easy to remember words and sentences when you learn with it . I also give you some daily sentences we can't study in some books .Because many students thought some sentences in the book are not practical in our life .So we should learn to speak as contemporary people speak not as people spoke prior to ancient Chinese or even earlier.
Othermore,I am a moderators of Chinese corner in beijing forum.
In addition , I run a language training centre in hangzhou , specializing in teaching Chinese as foreign language (TCFL for short).It also offer some services, like Nanny (who can speak english),Domestic service,Planning wedding & birthday parties and so on . Our principle is to spread Chinese language and culture ,help foreigners to better enjoy their life and work in China .
