Chinese lessons for everybody - first speaking than reading!
I think that the most important part of learning Chinese is actual speaking. Of course, reading, writing and grammar it’s also interesting part of this language, but the Chinese characters won’t save you in the conversation, especially with a wrong pronunciation. The lesson is just about you though and it will depend only on you which part of the language learning will be emphasized and which will stay in th background. And I will do my best to make learning exciting and enriching.

My departure toward Beijing is gaining terrain and I can freely say that has been very enriching and helpful studying Chinese with Katka. With her I discovered how beautiful and mysterious Chinese is. She shared all her experiences, her meetings, her discoverings and thoughts with me. She gave me a very special and marvelous view about China and its culture. I will never thank her enough for her passion and steadiness. All the exercises she prepared were helpful and definitely a clever way to avoid the possible sorrow due the heaviness of approaching a very different language. Super kind and available indeed! Her suggestions are precious and her teaching is very precise and diversified, complete and flexible. Thank you Katka!
And her tea is very very good:)

First step to learn Chinese =>>>Learn Taiwanese Chinese easily with Nina.Here I start my Chinese teaching journey. Do you intend to speak Chinese? Want to motivate yourself a bit more?
I can customize lessons to fit your needs and prepare the right materials for you! Learning a new language takes time—there's no shortcut to success. However, staying motivated is important.
In my class, we learn fun and engaging things. We use the words that people in Taiwan speak in real life. Writing traditional Chinese characters is too interesting—it's one of the most beautiful aspects of Chinese!
We can also work on HSK materials, but honestly, that's not my primary focus. So book my class, tell me your expectations, and we'll start from the beginning!

Xingying
Learn Chinese from A1 to C2, from having fun to prepare testI run private lessons, where all levels are welcome. But if you’re a total beginner then I offer basic classes to help you find the way to get into it.
I develop diverse methods of teaching for the students. For the around 5-8 years old kids, I would like to set certain games to play with them, thereby the kids can learn the new language during the interaction and communication. In this way, different media, like color pictures, puppets, or storybooks are essential to make the course very attractive. For the teenager or advanced students, a structuralized teaching content based on scenarios or textbook could help the students to develop their language capacity efficiently in different aspects – listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Besides, I would like to give a deeper perspective for the Chinese- not only learning the language from the textbooks, but also the knowledge of the language, the culture, and the literature.
Also, based on your need and situation, we choose different textbooks and make a personal teaching plan for you.

Everyday English and Chinese! Language made simpleLearning a new language can feel like trying to read IKEA instructions—backwards. But don’t worry, I’m here to make it simple, practical, and even a little fun (yes, even grammar!).
Whether you’re just starting or you’ve been ghosting Duolingo for months (we’ve all been there), this class is for real people who want to actually speak Chinese or English in daily life.
🗣️ What you’ll get:
• Real conversation practice – no robot-sounding textbook stuff
• Useful words and phrases (like how to say “I’m lost” and “Where’s the bathroom?”—top priorities!)
• Pronunciation help so people actually understand you
• Cultural tips so you don’t accidentally insult someone’s grandmother
• 1-on-1 lessons, so it’s all about you
Whether you’re trying to order hotpot in Mandarin without burning your tongue 🔥, or finally want to say something in English other than “Hello, my name is...” – this class is your safe, supportive space.
🧠 Bonus:
We’ll laugh through the mistakes (yes, tones in Chinese can betray you 😅), celebrate the wins (you ordered coffee in English and it wasn’t a disaster!), and help you feel like a language legend in no time.
🌱 Build Real Progress
One lesson is a great start — but you’ll see real, lasting progress after a few sessions. That’s when you’ll start surprising yourself with how much you can understand and say. Think of it like planting a language seed — let’s water it together and watch it grow! 🌿
Ready? Bring your curiosity (and maybe a snack), and let’s start speaking!
