Mandarin Chinese is a powerful language for global communication. As a learner, you'll need to be able to navigate its unique tones, characters, and sentence structures that will help you express yourself more naturally. I've designed this course as a practical guide to Mandarin Chinese specifically made for learners of all levels.

You'll learn how to master Pinyin and tones, build essential vocabulary, form sentences confidently, and use everyday expressions in real-life conversations. Beyond the basics, you'll also explore cultural nuances and common idioms — not just to speak Chinese, but to truly communicate like a native speaker.

Hi everybody, my name is Guido and Foreign languages have always been my passion; I am a language teacher for English and Standard Mandarin Chinese.
Language is not just a matter of being a native speaker, so learning it means acquiring all the linguistic and metalinguistic features that every language has and that help learners acquire a good command of the language.
In teaching General and SP (Specific Purposes) Chinese and English, the meta-language is an integral part of the learning process, making every student live an experience with the language. For Chinese, I prepare the students to dive into the language until HSK 4; For English, General and Academic Courses are also offered.
