Asia language and culture courses: Chinese, Japanese

Hej, I am Xiong! I give language courses, particularly in Chinese (mother tongue), and Japanese (JLPT Level N1).

I was born and raised up in southern China and used to be an announcer in the Radio Station at my university. I have got the Level 1-B of the Putonghua Proficiency Test, which is an official test of spoken fluency in Standard Chinese intended for native speakers of Chinese languages.

*Chinese lessons can help you set out to learn how to speak, read, and write. For this purpose, you will study the Chinese alphabet (汉语拼音 han yu pinyin), characters (汉字 han zi), vocabulary (词组 cizu), grammar (语法 yufa), as well as culture (文化 wenhua).

#Chinese calligraphy lesson is also possible. #
Doing calligraphy not only can help you to practice handwriting but also can help you to meditate and relieve tension.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I am a fan of Japanese anime and drama and have studied and lived in Japan for 8 years, I was able to enrich my linguistic knowledge as well as the culture of Japan. I have passed the Level N1 of the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test.

**Japanese lessons can help you set out to learn how to speak, read, and write. For this purpose, you will study the Japanese alphabet (ローマ字 romaji), characters (ひらがな hiragana カタカナ katakana), grammar (文法 ぶんぽう bunnpou), as well as culture (文化 ぶんか bunka).
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
***We can do the lesson planning together depending on your purpose. I also can adapt the courses according to the particular requirements (e.g., examination, knowledge for a business trip, etc.)

My goal is to teach the chosen language to the student without overloading you.

Mandarin Chinese courses: Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced
With 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.
