How to effectively improve Chinese level from zero to fluent conversation

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
More and more people are planning to learn Chinese for travel, work needs or simply because they are curious and interested in the language. The pronunciation and writing system of Chinese is very different from that of the Dutch and Latin languages, and it also becomes a huge obstacle in learning Chinese.

It is the aim of the courses I teach to help you overcome all obstacles in the Chinese learning process. As a student of English literature, I can understand the relationship between languages and how I can help you create this relationship.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am very interested I love language, literature, playing volleyball.

I'm a sociable introvert, who loves meeting new people with new skill sets and interests, but who can take a little while to warm up. I'm pretty calm and not that into the big partying scene, but I can get really excited about things that inspire me.

I would also love to talk for hours at you about English literature, which are my main academic interests. With a glass of wine or two in me I'm also an expert in improvised poetry.

I'm following Chinese during evening classes. And reached out to a Chinese-Dutch speaking teacher. I was able to practice straight away with Xiaodan. She only used Chinese at my level (3th year evening classes) which challenged me enough. Grateful and I would definitely recommend her if you're learning Chinese.

Italians at all levels - children, children and children
Les Italiens sont mon Mother tongue. With great passion, I want to teach the beautiful Italian language according to your needs. Do you need to learn more about your school life... for your private and professional life? Does your child need help doing their homework? It is important to know that the nature of the matter is similar to the nature of the person who consults you. I work in a natural way, and from the first lesson you will be able to speak simple sentences. As a general rule, I teach my lessons in Italian, so that you get effective 'full immersion' from the start (support languages such as Dutch, English or French are used if absolutely necessary). I will teach you how Italian grammar works and how to best conduct a conversation with a native speaker. I teach you the language that is spoken today and Italian through fun and interactive lessons.
