Maarten
Mandarin Chinese courses: Beginner - Intermediate - AdvancedWith a master's degree in Sinology (KULeuven, 2015), years of professional experience in the field and 6 years of experience in the Chinese Minor bachelor programme and evening courses at VUB, I'm confident that my courses offer an efficient and comprehensive path to Chinese language proficiency.
This class provides tailor-made Chinese language courses for any age. By default, the course focusses on oral communication (listening and speaking skills) with a large amount of interaction. Reading and writing is available (and recommended), but optional. As a non-native speaker, I know what it is to learn Chinese at a later age.
Textbooks, workbook exercises and additional character writing exercises are included in the price.

Learn how to communicate in Mandarin and/or Cantonese - Let's improve Speaking, Reading and Writing.Let’s make language learning enjoyable and pressure-free.

While this might not be a professional language course, I hope to offer a relaxed space for conversation practice, as well as share useful tips for learning a new language—from the perspective of a native speaker and lifelong language learner.

Let's learn Japanese with a native through a casual talk-------About me
Name: Ayaka
Origin: Osaka
Japanese: Standard Japanese, Kansai dialect
Jobs: Flight Attendant (past), Yoga Instructor (active)
Hobbies: Traveling, Yoga, Photography, Walking and hiking, Cooking, Skiing, Animal lover
----------About the Lesson---------------------
The main focus will be on "Speaking."
Q. Why is speaking the main focus?
A. We want you to experience the joy of speaking Japanese through free talk. Just learning words from manga is not easy to understand what natives say in daily life. I will assist you in learning vocabulary and acquiring natural expressions by speaking with native Japanese speakers.
-----A message to the students at the end-----
I love cultural exchange and have a friendly personality. Having traveled to various countries and learning German, I understand the challenges and joys of learning a new language firsthand. This makes me happy to be able to help you learn Japanese. I look forward to the day when we can have enjoyable conversations together.

Achieve Real Vietnamese Fluency in Just 2 Months – with a Native Speaker (5+ Years Experience, Proven Results, Tailored for You)Speak Vietnamese Fluently in Just 2 Months!
Hi! I'm Thương, a Vietnamese teacher from Hanoi – the heart of Vietnam's culture.
I'm a patient, cheerful, friendly tutor who is passionate about helping international learners speak Vietnamese naturally and confidently.
In my lessons, I use real-life stories and everyday conversations to help you not only improve your Vietnamese, but also understand the culture behind the language. Whether you're focusing on grammar or communication, I will always tailor the lessons to what you need most — so that you can see fast and meaningful progress.
Whether you are:
✅ A complete beginner starting your Vietnamese journey
✅ Planning a trip to Vietnam and want to speak like a local
✅ Working or doing business in Vietnam and seeking deeper connections
✅ Moving to Vietnam to live with your loved ones
✅ Or simply fascinated by the Vietnamese language and culture
— I have a personalized roadmap just for you.
I’ve worked with students from Japan, South Korea, the U.S., Germany, China, and more – helping them not only master the Vietnamese language but also deeply understand the culture and people of Vietnam.
I teach in the Northern Vietnamese accent (Hanoi dialect). I also speak English (TOEIC 800+) and Japanese (JLPT N2), which allows me to explain difficult concepts in an easy and understandable way.
Outside of teaching, I love traveling, exploring, and taking international friends to discover local food, cultural sites, and hidden gems around Hanoi.
I hold a professional certificate in Teaching Vietnamese as a Foreign Language. With over 5 years of experience, I have taught students of all levels – from absolute beginners to advanced learners aiming to use Vietnamese for work and daily life.
What I offer:
Vietnamese for everyday communication
Vietnamese for travelers
Vietnamese for work and business
Correct pronunciation with the Northern accent
Vietnamese culture, customs, and norms
Focused skills practice: speaking, listening, reading, writing
I also hold an International Tour Guide License, so if you're planning to visit Vietnam, I can guide you on amazing journeys across the country – from North to South.
And when you’re in Hanoi, we can even study together offline at some chill cafés or beautiful cultural spots in the city – learning in the most fun and authentic way possible!
Do you find Vietnamese tones hard to remember?
Is the grammar too flexible and confusing?
Maybe you’ve studied for a while, but still can’t speak naturally?
Or you feel like Vietnamese is dry and difficult to enjoy?
You might have thought: “Why is Vietnamese so hard...?”
You’ve been there, right?
👉 I totally understand – many of my students have felt the same way at first.
But don’t worry! With the right approach, Vietnamese can actually be fun, clear, and full of life. 🌱I’ll help you learn with simple, practical, and interactive lessons that match your pace and interests.
Whether you want to speak confidently while traveling, understand your Vietnamese partner better, or simply explore this beautiful language and culture — I’m here to guide you.
Together, we’ll turn confusion into clarity, and fear into confidence. 💪
Let’s make Vietnamese learning an enjoyable journey you’ll love!
👉 Don’t wait any longer – apply now and let’s start your Vietnamese journey together!

First of all, I truly appreciate and respect your decision to learn Japanese—one of the most challenging languages to master.
Currently, I am also learning Arabic and French myself, so I completely understand how tough it is to learn new languages from the start, and there’s no easy way to acquire a new language. That’s why I’d love to help you with mine, which happens to be one of the hardest!
